Yes, you can smoke at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) after security: the airport lists an outdoor smoking terrace at the A and B gates (its pages name finger B and Gates A for it, so ask staff which way), two smoking cabins after passport control at the start of the C finger, just above the 7-Eleven, and an outdoor terrace at gate E135; the Aspire Lounge near Gates A adds a closed smoking room for its guests. Before security, smoke only at the yellow smoking zones between the entrances to Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
Flying from Denmark’s other airports? Billund Airport has an indoor smoking cabin after security.
After security: the A and B gates, the C finger and gate E135
The airport lists three smoking places after security. An outdoor terrace at the A and B gates: the airport’s customer-service guidance places it at finger B and its smoking page in connection with Gates A, so ask staff which way. Two smoking cabins at the start of the C finger, just above the 7-Eleven, after the passport control for the C gates. An outdoor terrace at gate E135, after the security check. The airport publishes no opening hours for any of them, so ask staff if one is closed. Danish law bans smoking inside buildings open to the public except in a smoking room or smoking cabin (Act on Smoke-free Environments), which is why the airport’s own areas are terraces and cabins.
Aspire Lounge
The Aspire Lounge, after security near Gates A on the first floor, has a closed smoking room; any passenger can buy entry at the door for DKK 339 (food and drinks included), and the lounge’s opening hours vary through the year, so ask staff. The SAS Lounge and the Carlsberg Aviator Lounge offer no smoking facilities and send their guests to the airport’s smoking areas before and after security; the airport leaves each lounge to decide whether smoking is allowed inside its area.
Before security: the yellow smoking zones
Before security the airport allows smoking outdoors only in its clearly marked areas: the yellow smoking zones between the entrances to Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. They serve arriving passengers and anyone who has not yet cleared security.
Vaping
The airport applies the rules for cigarettes to electronic cigarettes as well, so vape only in the smoking areas; it leaves lounges and other partners to set their own rule inside their areas, so ask the lounge staff. It publishes no rule naming heated tobacco, so ask staff.
