Yes, Dehradun Airport (DED) has a smoking room after security: a reader, Blueman, described a smoking lounge beside Gate 2B on the ground floor on 10 October 2026 and photographed it, a glass-walled room signed Smoking Room in Hindi and English, right next to the gate doors. Before security, smoke outside the terminal near the departure entrance or along the parking area. The airport publishes neither spot, so ask staff if you cannot find the room from the gate.
After Security
The smoking room sits beside Gate 2B on the ground floor of the terminal, in the reader’s photo a glass-fronted room with a frosted band across the door and a Smoking Room sign above it, a few steps from the gate’s doors to the apron. Blueman described it on 10 October 2026. The airport’s own pages do not list it, so ask staff whether it is open on the day; if it is not, smoke outside before you go through security.
Before Security
Outside the terminal near the departure entrance, away from the main passenger flow, and along the parking lot, where travellers smoke by their vehicles before heading inside. Mornings can be foggy and winters cold at Jolly Grant, so allow for that if you step out before an early flight.
