Yes, Nanjing Lukou (NKG) has an indoor airside smoking room in Terminal 1, past security near Gate 124 in the departure hall. There are also designated outdoor smoking areas near the ground-level entrances of both T1 and T2. China has no national ban on indoor airport smoking, so rooms vary terminal by terminal — in T2, a domestic airside room could not be confirmed on a recent visit, so plan for the outdoor zones there.

是的,南京禄口国际机场(NKG)在T1设有室内吸烟室,位于安检后出发大厅124号登机口附近。T1和T2地面入口附近也设有指定户外吸烟区。中国并无全国性机场室内禁烟令,各航站楼设置不一——T2国内区的室内吸烟室在近期探访时未能确认,该航站楼旅客宜使用户外吸烟区。

Terminal 1 Smoking Areas

T1 is the older terminal, handling a mix of domestic flights. Past security, there is an indoor smoking room in the departure hall near Gate 124 — so you can smoke without leaving the secure area here. Landside, outdoor zones sit at ground level near the main entrance and arrivals exit, with marked areas and standing ashtrays clearly visible as you walk out the doors.

1号航站楼吸烟区 — T1是较旧航站楼,服务国内混合航班。安检后在出发大厅124号登机口附近设有室内吸烟室——无需离开安检区即可吸烟。公共区方面,户外吸烟区位于地面层主入口和到达出口附近,出门即可看到带烟灰缸的标识区域。

Terminal 2 Smoking Areas

T2 is the larger, newer terminal handling most traffic including all international flights. China Eastern hub — expect crowds during peak hours. Unlike T1, a domestic airside smoking room could not be confirmed in T2 on a January 2025 visit, so its availability is uncertain — plan to use the landside outdoor zones. Those outdoor areas are near the ground-level entrance, similar to T1 but spread across a wider frontage. From the farthest T2 gates, the walk back to the entrance is considerable (15-20 minutes each way).

2号航站楼吸烟区 — T2是较新较大的航站楼,承担大部分客流包括所有国际航班。东方航空枢纽——高峰时段拥挤。与T1不同,T2国内区的室内吸烟室在2025年1月探访时未能确认,是否设有尚不确定——宜使用公共区户外吸烟区。户外吸烟区位于地面层入口附近,布局与T1相似但占地更宽。从T2最远登机口走回入口距离可观(单程15-20分钟)。

Before Security / Landside

Landside outside both terminals has marked outdoor zones — the reliable fallback, and the main option in T2. After landing, collect your bags and walk straight outside; if catching a taxi, you’ll pass right by the smoking areas. Before a flight, T1 passengers can use the airside room near Gate 124, while T2 passengers should build in extra time to smoke before heading through the doors.

安检前 / 公共区 — 两座航站楼外均设有标识户外吸烟区,是可靠的备选,也是T2的主要选择。抵达后取行李直接走出门外;打车时会经过吸烟区。出发前,T1旅客可使用124号登机口附近的空侧吸烟室,T2旅客则宜预留时间在外面吸烟。
