No. Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE / Ezeiza) has no airside or indoor smoking. Smoking is only permitted outdoors, on the landside curb and forecourt outside the terminal buildings.
Ezeiza is Buenos Aires’ main international gateway and the largest airport in Argentina, handling the bulk of the country’s long-haul traffic. Passengers move through Terminals A and C. Both terminals are entirely smoke-free inside, with no exceptions in the gate areas or lounges.
Where to Smoke
Smoking is allowed outdoors only, on the landside, in front of the terminal buildings, at the curbside and forecourt where passengers are dropped off and picked up. Move clear of the doorways and follow any posted signage.
There is no airside smoking facility and no indoor smoking room in any terminal at EZE. Once you pass through security and immigration, there is nowhere to smoke until you leave the airport.
Connecting passengers must exit to the landside forecourt to smoke and then re-clear security afterwards. If your itinerary keeps you airside, factor in the time and the security re-screening before you step out for a cigarette.
Vaping
Argentina’s Decree 602/2013 classifies e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products as tobacco products. That means vaping is treated exactly like smoking: it is banned indoors and airside throughout the terminals, and is only permitted outdoors on the landside forecourt.
