Yes, you can smoke at Billund Airport (BLL) — in an indoor smoking cabin past security, in the waiting area behind the WHSmith shop on the way down to the gates, so transit and departing passengers who have already cleared security don’t need to leave the secure zone. Landside, smoking is permitted outdoors, before check-in and after arriving passengers collect their luggage.
Billund is Denmark’s second-largest airport by passenger numbers, with a single terminal.
After Security: The Departure-Hall Smoking Cabin
Billund Airport’s own smoking-policy page states, in the airport’s words: “in connection with the departure hall, a smoking cabin has been set up in the waiting area behind WHSmith, down towards the gates.” The airport’s separate security-control page confirms the departure hall itself sits past the checkpoint: “to reach the departure hall and your flight, you must go through our security control, located right after the check-in area.” Together, the two official pages place the cabin airside — reachable by departing and transit passengers without a re-screen. It’s the only enclosed smoking option anywhere at Billund.
Before Security: Landside and Check-In
The check-in hall itself is smoke-free, so landside smokers step outside the terminal building. There’s no dedicated indoor room on this side — the outdoor area outside the entrance is the option before you check in.
Arrivals
Passengers who have just landed can’t light up on their way through the terminal. Billund’s own guidance is that arriving smokers wait until they’ve collected their luggage and stepped outside the airport building before smoking, keeping the arrivals hall itself smoke-free indoors.
Vaping
Billund Airport’s smoking-policy page states that the same rules apply to e-cigarettes as to regular cigarettes, and then adds explicitly that e-cigarettes “may not be smoked inside the building.” Read together, that means the indoor smoking cabin is for cigarette smoking only — vaping at BLL is limited to the outdoor landside areas, at check-in and on arrival, not indoors at any point.

If your Nordic routing gives you a choice of transit hub, Copenhagen Airport’s outdoor airside terraces and Aspire Lounge smoking room are the other transit-friendly option in Denmark.
