Yes, Lille Lesquin Airport (LIL) has outdoor smoking areas right outside the terminal, with ashtrays near the departures entrance on the upper level and outside the arrivals exit on the ground floor. The single building is non-smoking inside, so plan a cigarette at the marked spots by the doors before you clear security.
Departures Entrance (Upper Level)
The main smoking spot is on the landside, just outside the departures hall on the upper level where check-in and security are located. Ashtrays are placed a short distance from the entrance doors, so this is the convenient place to light up before checking in or heading through screening. Because Lille Lesquin is compact, it is only a few steps from the check-in counters back out to this area.
Arrivals Exit (Ground Floor)
Arriving passengers will find an outdoor smoking area outside the arrivals exit on the ground floor. After baggage reclaim, step out the doors and look for the ashtrays near the entrance. This is also handy if you are catching the airport shuttle to the Lille TGV station or to nearby Belgium, as the stops are right outside.
After Security
Lille Lesquin is a small single-terminal airport and does not have a dedicated airside smoking room. Once you pass through security there is no smoking area, so use the outdoor spot by the departures entrance beforehand. If you have a longer wait, the landside areas remain your option until boarding.
