After security, Yes means there is a smoking area past security and a dash means none is listed. Each airport’s page has the details. | Airport | Before security | After security | | --- | --- | --- | | [Innsbruck (INN)](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/austria/inn-smoking-at-innsbruck-airport/) | Yes | – | | [Salzburg (SZG)](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/austria/szg-smoking-at-salzburg-airport/) | Yes | Yes | | [Vienna (VIE)](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/austria/vie-smoking-at-vienna-airport/) | Yes | Yes | ## How Austrian Airport Smoking Works Austria’s Tobacco and Non-Smokers’ Protection Act (TNRSG) bans smoking in rooms of public places, airport terminals included, and lets a public place set up a separate side room as a smoking room, as long as the smoke does not reach the non-smoking area. The same bans cover e-cigarettes and heated tobacco. Smoking where it is banned costs up to €100, or up to €1,000 for a repeat offence; an operator that fails to enforce the rules faces up to €2,000, or €10,000 for a repeat.
