Estonia’s only major international gateway is Tallinn Lennart Meri Airport (TLL): the airport’s own website lists an indoor smoking room past security, at Aviation Pub Legend between gates 5 and 7.

How Estonian Airport Smoking Works

Estonia’s Tobacco Act bans smoking in enclosed public spaces, so the general terminal is smoke-free by default; the Act permits designated smoking rooms, and Tallinn Airport uses that allowance:

  • An indoor smoking room at Aviation Pub Legend, on the 2nd floor between gates 5 and 7, past security
  • A designated outdoor spot outside the terminal building for landside smoking
  • E-cigarettes are restricted indoors under the Tobacco Act and permitted only in designated smoking rooms — vaping is allowed just where smoking is

The Airport

Tallinn Lennart Meri Airport (TLL). Estonia’s main airport, with one passenger terminal handling around 3.5 million passengers a year. Tallinn’s smoking room sits at Aviation Pub Legend, past security; landside, a designated spot outside the terminal covers smoking before security or after arrival.

Tips for Smokers at Estonian Airports

  • Tallinn keeps an indoor smoking room past security — you can smoke during a layover without exiting the secure zone
  • The room is at Aviation Pub Legend, on the 2nd floor between gates 5 and 7
  • E-cigarettes are allowed only where smoking is under Estonia’s Tobacco Act — use the designated room or outdoor spot
