Yes, you can smoke at Copenhagen Airport (CPH). It is one of the few European airports with enclosed indoor smoking after security, plus outdoor airside terraces and landside zones for both arriving and departing travelers.

Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) is the largest airport in Scandinavia and the main international gateway for the Nordic region.

Where to Smoke

  • Indoor airside: Two enclosed smoking cabins are located after passport control in the C-finger (above the 7-Eleven). There is also a designated smoking area inside the Aspire Lounge near Gates A, which opened in 2025 (lounge access required).
  • Outdoor airside: Smoking terraces are available by the B-finger and near gate E135 (non-Schengen).
  • Landside: Outdoor yellow smoking zones sit between the entrances to Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.

Vaping

E-cigarettes are treated exactly like cigarettes at Copenhagen Airport — the airport’s official wording is that the rules for regular cigarettes also apply to e-cigarettes. Use the designated smoking areas only.
