Yes, you can smoke at Split Airport (SPU) after security, in the smoking area on Floor 1, the departures floor: in May 2025 travellers described it as a cabin in the corner close to gate 5, opposite the coffee shop. The airport lists no smoking area before security, so ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside the terminal; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Connecting through Zagreb? Zagreb Airport has indoor smoking cabins after security in both Schengen and non-Schengen departures.
Floor 1: the smoking area after security
The airport’s map marks one smoking area, on Floor 1, the floor of the security checkpoint, passport control, the departure gates and the duty-free shops, with no gate number and no opening hours. In May 2025 travellers described it as a cabin for smokers in the corner close to gate 5, opposite the coffee shop, after the security control; travellers described the same smoking room by gate 5 in August 2019, June 2021, October 2022 and April 2024. Croatian law bans smoking in enclosed public spaces except in an approved smoking room (Article 25 of the Tobacco and Related Products Act), so the cabin is the place to smoke inside the building. The airport publishes no opening hours for it, so ask staff if it is closed. The business lounge on Floor 2 carries no published smoking rule.
Before security
The airport lists no smoking area before security, on the ground floor, where check-in and arrivals are, or outside the terminal. Ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside the building; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Vaping
The airport publishes no vaping rule for the smoking area or the terminal, so ask staff before you vape.
