Yes, you can smoke at Stuttgart Airport (STR), including airside after security. STR has indoor smoking lounges in Terminal 1 (in front of gates 169/170) and Terminal 3 (a glass smoking booth by gate 330, plus a room near gate 409), in addition to designated outdoor areas on Level 2 (departures) and Level 0 (arrivals) before security. Stuttgart’s terminals are numbered 1, 3 and 4 — there is no Terminal 2.
Inside Terminal (After Security)
Terminal 1: An indoor smoking lounge is in front of gates 169 and 170, next to MANFRED’s Snacks & Drinks.
Terminal 3: A glass-enclosed smoking booth sits behind the Trattoria café by gate 330, signed “Stuttgart Airport Raucherlounge.” There is also a separate smoking room near gate 409.
Outside Terminal
Departures Level (Level 2): The most convenient option for departing passengers. Designated smoking areas with standing ashtrays are directly outside the terminal entrance doors. Step outside, smoke, and you’re back at the doors in under a minute.
Arrivals Level (Level 0): An outdoor area near the exit, useful if you’ve just landed or are being picked up. This area connects to the bus station where additional open space is available.
Bus Station (Level 0): The open area near the bus bays is another option, slightly further from the terminal but with more space and less foot traffic.
