Yes, you can smoke at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO) — at the designated outdoor areas by the Terminal 2 entrances, landside. Terminal 2 is smoke-free indoors under Zhengzhou’s city smoking ordinance, so plan your cigarette before security or after you exit into arrivals.

是的,您可以在郑州新郑国际机场(CGO)吸烟——在2号航站楼(T2)出入口附近的指定户外吸烟区,位于安检前的公共区。根据郑州市控烟条例,T2航站楼室内全面禁烟,因此请在过安检前或抵达出站后再吸烟。

Zhengzhou Xinzheng is the main airport of Henan province and one of central China’s fastest-growing hubs, handling close to 29 million passengers a year and serving as a major China Southern and air-freight gateway. All flights now use the large Terminal 2, which opened in 2015; the older Terminal 1 has been closed to passengers and repurposed. For smokers the picture is straightforward: the terminal interior is smoke-free, and every smoking area is outdoors, landside.

郑州新郑国际机场是河南省的主要机场,也是华中地区增长最快的枢纽之一,年旅客吞吐量接近2900万人次,是南航和航空货运的重要门户。目前所有航班均使用2015年启用的大型2号航站楼;较旧的1号航站楼已停止对旅客开放并另作他用。对吸烟旅客而言,情况很简单:航站楼室内全面禁烟,所有吸烟区都在安检前的户外公共区。

Terminal 2 Outdoor Smoking Areas

Smoking at CGO is outdoors only, landside, at the designated areas near the Terminal 2 entrances. The terminal interior is entirely smoke-free, so every option is a short step outside the building. The areas are free to use and marked with the smoking pictogram, and because domestic smoking rates in China remain high they can get busy at peak times — expect company. Zhengzhou has a continental climate that runs hot in summer and cold in winter, so the walk outside is far more pleasant in spring and autumn than during a January cold snap; dress for the season if you have a wait between cigarettes.

2号航站楼户外吸烟区 — CGO只能在安检前的户外公共区吸烟,吸烟区位于T2航站楼出入口附近的指定区域。航站楼室内全面禁烟,因此每个吸烟点都只需走出航站楼几步即到。这些区域免费使用,并带有吸烟图标标识;由于中国国内吸烟率仍然较高,高峰时段可能较为拥挤,身边烟客不少。郑州属大陆性气候,夏热冬冷,春秋两季在户外吸烟远比一月寒潮时舒适;如需在两支烟之间等候,请按季节添衣。

Departures and Arrivals

On the departures side, the smoking areas sit along the curbside on the upper-level roadway where taxis and drop-off traffic pull in — step out through the main doors before you check in or clear security. On the arrivals side, walk out of the ground-level arrivals hall and you reach an outdoor area within a minute, so a post-flight cigarette needs no detour. Because the Terminal 2 forecourt is compact, neither area is a long walk from the check-in counters or the baggage carousels, which makes a quick smoke practical even on a short buffer before boarding.

出发层与到达层 — 出发一侧,吸烟区位于上层车道路边——出租车和送客车辆停靠的地方,请在办理登机手续或过安检前从主出入口走出。到达一侧,走出一层到达大厅一分钟内即可到达户外吸烟区,飞行后想抽支烟无需绕路。由于T2航站楼前区布局紧凑,两处吸烟区距值机柜台和行李转盘都不远,即使登机前时间不多,也能从容抽上一支。

After Security (Airside)

There are no indoor smoking rooms after security at Terminal 2. Zhengzhou’s public-places smoking ordinance, tightened in 2020, makes the whole terminal interior smoke-free, so CGO routes every smoker outdoors — the same landside-only pattern as Beijing, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. If you are transiting and want to smoke, you will need to exit through arrivals and re-clear security to return to the gates, which is realistic only on layovers of three hours or more. On a tight connection, plan to wait until you land.

安检后 / 空侧 — T2航站楼安检后不设室内吸烟室。郑州市公共场所控烟条例于2020年收紧后,整个航站楼室内全面禁烟,因此CGO把所有吸烟者引向户外——与北京、深圳、杭州相同,都只能在安检前的公共区吸烟。如果您正在中转并想吸烟,须经到达层出站并重新过安检才能返回登机口,这仅在停留三小时或以上时才可行。若中转时间紧张,请等到落地后再吸。

Vaping

China regulates e-cigarettes and treats vaping the same as smoking indoors, so vaping is not allowed inside Terminal 2 — use the outdoor smoking areas for both cigarettes and vapes. Since November 2022 only tobacco-flavour vapes have been legal in China; personal use is permitted, while bringing in non-Chinese vape products is restricted.

电子烟 — 中国对电子烟实行监管,在室内电子烟与香烟同等对待,因此T2航站楼室内不得使用电子烟——香烟和电子烟都请在户外吸烟区使用。自2022年11月起,中国仅允许烟草口味电子烟合法销售;个人使用是允许的,而携带非中国产电子烟产品入境则受到限制。
