Yes, you can smoke at Béziers Cap d’Agde Airport (BZR) — in designated outdoor areas outside the terminal building. The terminal interior is non-smoking and there is no airside smoking area, so plan your last cigarette before you pass through security.

Where to Smoke

Béziers Cap d’Agde is a compact single-terminal regional airport on the Mediterranean coast, served mainly by Ryanair — its Brussels-Charleroi link is the most consistent route, with other UK and European services running largely in the warmer months. Smoking is at the designated outdoor areas just outside the terminal entrance, landside (before security). There are no smoking rooms or terraces past the checkpoint, so connecting and departing passengers should smoke before screening; when you land, you can smoke again in the same areas in front of the terminal. Because the boarding area is small, treat the outdoor frontage as your only option once you are airside, and watch for the marked areas a step clear of the doors.

Vaping

Vaping is treated the same as cigarette smoking: it is not permitted inside the terminal, so use the outdoor areas. France banned single-use disposable (“puff”) vapes in 2025, so carry a refillable device if you vape.
