Smoking at Fiji Airports (NAN)

English

Nadi International, Fiji’s main gateway, keeps designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal, marked on both the arrivals and departures levels. The international departure lounge has no smoking facility, so plan your last cigarette before you clear immigration and security.

Fiji Airports Compared: Before and After Security

Before security, you can always smoke outside: at a designated smoking area where there is one, or outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks. After security, Yes means there is a smoking area past security and a dash means none is listed. Each airport’s page has the details.

Nadi (NAN)	Yes	–

For international travel through Fiji, Nadi (NAN) is the airport that matters, as the main Pacific gateway.

How Fijian Airport Smoking Works

Fiji’s Tobacco Control Act 2015 bans indoor smoking and authorises designated airport smoking rooms; at Nadi the current provision is outdoors:

Designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal, landside, on the arrivals and departures levels
The international departure lounge has no smoking facility, and there is no re-entry once through security
E-cigarette use is banned wherever smoking is banned — vape at the outdoor areas
E-cigarette sale is also restricted in Fiji, so bring your own supplies

The Hub

Nadi International Airport (NAN). Fiji’s main gateway, Fiji Airways’ hub, and the busiest passenger airport in the South Pacific. Smoking is handled entirely outdoors, landside: designated marked areas sit outside the terminal on both the arrivals and departures levels. Connecting passengers who want a cigarette need to clear immigration into Fiji, smoke outside, and then pass back through security and immigration for the onward flight.

Tips for Smokers at Fijian Airports

Take your last cigarette at the outdoor areas before you go through security — the departure lounge is smoke-free with no re-entry
On a Fiji Airways layover, budget time to clear immigration, smoke outside, and re-clear security and immigration
E-cigarettes count as smoking — vape at the outdoor areas, not at the gates
The outdoor areas offer little seating or shelter, so allow extra time in poor weather
