# Bermuda Airport Smoking Areas

Smokers in Bermuda use the outdoor area outside the terminal at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), the territory’s only commercial airport. The terminal building itself is smoke-free under Bermuda’s national tobacco law.

L.F. Wade International (BDA) is Bermuda’s sole gateway, on St. David’s Island at the eastern end of the territory.

## How Bermuda Airport Smoking Works

Bermuda’s Tobacco Control Act 2015 bans smoking, including electronic cigarettes, in enclosed public places, indoor workplaces and on public transport:

- Smoking is available **outdoors, landside**, where the Act does not restrict open-air smoking
- **The terminal interior and the area after security** have no smoking facility
- **US preclearance passengers** should smoke before entering that sterile zone
- **E-cigarettes** follow the same rule as tobacco — not indoors, use the outdoor area

## L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA)

Bermuda’s only commercial airport, on St. David’s Island in St. George’s Parish, roughly 11 kilometres northeast of Hamilton, with a US Customs and Border Protection preclearance facility for US-bound passengers. [Bermuda’s smoking area](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/bermuda/bda-smoking-at-bermuda-airport/) is outdoors, landside — the terminal building itself is smoke-free.

## Tips for Smokers at Bermuda Airport

- Smoke outside the terminal before you check in — L.F. Wade International is smoke-free inside, and there is no smoking facility past security
- E-cigarettes follow the same indoor ban as tobacco — use the outdoor area
- The outdoor area outside the terminal is available under Bermuda’s national law, which restricts indoor and workplace smoking and does not restrict open-air smoking
