Germany Airport Smoking Regulations
Germany’s Federal Non-Smokers’ Protection Act (Bundesnichtraucherschutzgesetz) of 2007 bans smoking in all federal buildings and public transport. However, airports fall under state jurisdiction, and most German airports maintain designated indoor smoking cabins (Raucherkabinen) operated by companies like Smoke Free. These glass-enclosed, ventilated cabins are found before and after security in most terminals. Smoking outside is permitted in designated areas at least 5 meters from entrances. E-cigarettes and heated tobacco products (IQOS) are generally allowed in the same smoking areas. Fines for smoking in non-designated areas range from €5 to €1,000 depending on the state.
