Yes, Coimbatore Airport (CJB) has a designated indoor smoking zone near Gate 2 after security, plus outdoor areas near the parking zone.

Inside Terminals

Coimbatore Airport gives smokers one indoor choice after clearing security.

The designated smoking zone near Gate 2 is a short walk once you are through security — look for the signage pointing toward the zone. This is a straightforward smoking area that does not require any purchase or special access. Like other Indian airside smoking rooms, it has a wall-mounted electric lighter for passengers whose own lighters were taken at security — here’s how the machine works, with video.

Outside Terminals

Outside the terminal, smoking is permitted in designated areas around the parking zone. This is the default option for anyone who has not yet entered the building or who wants to smoke before check-in. The outdoor areas are open-air and located near the terminal approach, so you will not have to walk far from the drop-off point.
