Yes, you can smoke at Sunan Shuofang International Airport (WUX) — at the indoor smoking room after security in Terminal 2, on the eastern end of the boarding concourse near gates 19–21. No landside or outdoor smoking area is well-documented at WUX, so the after-security room is where to head once you’re through the gate.

是的,您可以在无锡苏南硕放国际机场(WUX)吸烟——在T2航站楼安检后的室内吸烟室,位于候机区东侧,靠近19至21号登机口。WUX未见有充分记录的安检前或室外吸烟区信息,因此过安检后前往这间吸烟室即可。

Sunan Shuofang is a joint military-civil airport with two terminals — Terminal 1 with gates 1 to 12, and the larger Terminal 2 with gates 13 to 23.

无锡苏南硕放机场是军民合用机场,设有两座航站楼——设有1至12号登机口的T1航站楼,以及规模更大、设有13至23号登机口的T2航站楼。

Indoor Smoking Room After Security

The Terminal 2 smoking room’s location rests on traveller reports rather than an airport listing this research could reach: a 2023 Baidu Zhidao answer, citing the airport group’s own website, and a January 2025 Toutiao post both place it on the eastern end of the boarding concourse, opposite the gates numbered around 19 to 21 — travellers name a slightly different gate each time, but consistently describe the same room on that side of the concourse; the Toutiao post also describes an electronic lighter fitted inside. In July 2025 the airport operating company confirmed, after a passenger reported it, that a foreign traveller had lit a cigarette in the room with a personal lighter that security had missed during screening — the airport called it a screening lapse rather than a difference in how domestic and foreign passengers are checked.

安检后的室内吸烟室 — 吸烟室的具体位置依据旅客反馈,本次调研未能核实机场官方信息:2023年的一篇百度知道回答(援引机场集团官网)和2025年1月的一篇今日头条帖子均指出,吸烟室位于候机区东侧,登机口对面,具体位置在19号和21号登机口一带——不同旅客提及的登机口略有出入,但均指向候机区同一侧的这间吸烟室;今日头条帖子还提到室内配有点烟器。2025年7月,一名旅客反映后,机场公司确认一名外籍旅客曾在吸烟室内用个人打火机点烟,该打火机在安检时被漏检——机场表示这是安检漏检,并非对中外旅客执行不同的检查标准。

Before Security and Terminal 1

No landside or outdoor smoking area is well-documented for WUX, so smokers arriving early or seeing someone off should plan around the after-security room in Terminal 2. Terminal 1, which handles gates 1 to 12, has no confirmed smoking facility of its own.

安检前及T1航站楼 — WUX未见有充分记录的安检前室外或室内吸烟区信息,因此提前到达或送机的吸烟旅客应以T2航站楼安检后的吸烟室为准。承担1至12号登机口的T1航站楼目前没有确认的独立吸烟设施。

Vaping

WUX publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes, so vape in the same indoor smoking room after security in Terminal 2.

电子烟 — WUX未单独发布电子烟规定,因此电子烟可在T2航站楼安检后的室内吸烟室使用。
