是的,深圳宝安国际机场(SZX)设有指定吸烟区,全部位于户外。室内吸烟自2016年起全面禁止。户外吸烟区位于主航站楼3层出发入口路边及1层到达出口外。

Shenzhen turned from a fishing village into China’s tech capital in a single generation. Huawei, Tencent, DJI, BYD — the companies that define modern Chinese tech are headquartered here. Massimiliano Fuksas designed Bao’an’s terminal as a giant manta ray wrapped in honeycomb skin — flowing white surfaces, geometric light. It is genuinely beautiful inside, but beauty will not help you find a cigarette break.

深圳一代人之间从渔村变身中国科技之都。华为、腾讯、大疆、比亚迪——定义现代中国科技的公司均总部于此。马西米利亚诺·福克萨斯将宝安航站楼设计成巨型蝠鲼造型,蜂巢状外壳——流动的白色曲面与几何光影,室内确实赏心悦目,但与吸烟方便与否无关。

Terminal Smoking Zones

SZX operates a single massive terminal (often called T3, replacing the demolished T1 and T2). Domestic operations are in the north, international in the south. Outdoor smoking zones sit at the Level 3 departures entrance and outside the Level 1 arrivals exits. Most domestic gates are 5-10 minutes from the central hall; the furthest international gates take about 15. Smoke breaks are more manageable here than at PEK or PKX, but security re-screening still adds 20-30 minutes.

航站楼吸烟区 — SZX为单体巨型航站楼(常称T3,取代已拆除的T1和T2),北侧国内航班、南侧国际航班。户外吸烟区位于3层出发入口和1层到达出口外。多数国内登机口距中央大厅5-10分钟,最远国际登机口约15分钟。吸烟休息比PEK或PKX更可行,但安检复检仍需额外20-30分钟。

Before Security / Landside

The easiest smoke is outside the terminal before you enter. Level 3 has covered curbside zones — useful given Shenzhen’s frequent April-September downpours. Arriving by Metro Line 11 (Bao’an Airport station), you exit into the ground transportation center and can step outside before heading up to departures.

安检前 / 公共区 — 最方便的吸烟时机是进入航站楼前。3层路边带顶棚的吸烟区在深圳4-9月频繁降雨时尤为实用。乘地铁11号线(机场站)抵达后,进入地面交通中心,上出发层前先到外面抽烟。

## 深圳宝安机场吸烟旅客实用提示
  • 热带气候。 4-10月炎热多湿,午后雷雨频繁。3层带顶棚路边可遮雨,但仍闷热。
  • 室内无例外。 蜂巢状外壳虽透光,室内每个空间都完全封闭禁烟,没有安检后露台。
  • 香港机场就在对岸。 香港国际机场的T1 7层设Sky Deck安检后吸烟露台——中国大陆机场没有的真正选项。
  • 一次性打火机可过SZX安检,燃料式打火机和火柴会被没收。
  • 蛇口码头到HKG船程约30分钟,如深圳行程灵活可作替代方案。

Shenzhen Smoking Regulations

Shenzhen was ahead of the national curve on tobacco control. The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Tobacco Control Ordinance (updated 2019, further tightened 2024) is among China’s strictest. Indoor smoking is banned in all public spaces, workplaces, and public transport, with the ban extended to outdoor queues, bus stops, and within 5 meters of certain venues’ entrances. Individual fines range from ¥50 to ¥500. Airport enforcement is firm — security and cleaning staff will tell you to move if you light up in the wrong spot.

深圳吸烟管理规定

深圳在控烟方面走在全国前列。《深圳经济特区控制吸烟条例》(2019年修订,2024年进一步加强)是中国最严格的地方法规之一。室内公共场所、工作场所和公共交通全面禁烟,户外排队区、公交车站、特定场所入口5米范围内同样禁烟。个人罚款¥50至¥500。机场执法严格——在错误位置吸烟会被安检或保洁人员制止。

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there smoking zones at Shenzhen Airport?

Yes, Shenzhen Bao’an has designated smoking zones — all outdoors. SZX has had no indoor smoking facilities since 2016. The outdoor zones sit near the Level 3 departures entrance and outside the Level 1 arrivals exits of the main terminal.

Where can I smoke at Shenzhen Bao'an Airport?

Designated outdoor smoking zones are along the curbside at the Level 3 departures entrance and outside the Level 1 arrivals exits. Follow signage with the smoking pictogram or ask staff. The covered curbside offers some shelter from Shenzhen’s frequent rain.

How long does a smoke break take at Shenzhen Airport?

From most domestic gates, reaching the terminal exit takes about 10 minutes. International gates in the south wing add another 5 minutes. Including security re-screening, budget 35-50 minutes for the full round trip.

Can I cross to Hong Kong Airport from Shenzhen instead?

Yes. Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is accessible via the Shenzhen Bay Port or by ferry from Shekou (about 30 minutes). HKG still operates its airside Sky Deck outdoor smoking area in Terminal 1 — something no mainland Chinese airport offers.
