Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA) does not allow smoking or vaping inside Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 and lists no smoking area outside them, so ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside the terminal; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Flying from Paris’s main airports instead? Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport has indoor smoking rooms after security and Paris Orly Airport has open-air smoking terraces after security.
Terminal 1
The airport does not allow smoking inside Terminal 1 and lists no smoking area outside its doors or after security. Ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside the building; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Terminal 2
The airport does not allow smoking inside Terminal 2 and lists no smoking area outside its doors or after security either; ask staff. French law bans smoking in the parts of the bus station between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 that are assigned to waiting passengers, during service hours (Code de la santé publique, article R3512-2); the airport marks no boundary for them, so ask staff before smoking anywhere near the bus station.
Vaping
The airport does not allow vaping inside its terminals, the same rule as for smoking, and lists no vaping area outside them, so vape outside the terminal where staff direct you.
