Yes, you can smoke at Rajkot International Airport (HSR) — in the smoking room that Air India lists among the amenities of the single integrated terminal at Hirasar. India’s COTPA rules require any airport smoking area to be a separately ventilated enclosed room, so this is an indoor Smoking Zone; its position relative to security is not published.
Smoking Room in the Terminal
Air India’s airport-information page for Rajkot, current as of September 2026, lists a “Smoking room” among the terminal’s services and amenities. The Airports Authority of India’s own conveniences listing for the Hirasar terminal is unpopulated and does not add a location, so no Smoking Zone after security is confirmed — use the room before you join the security queue if your timing allows, and follow the terminal signage. No outdoor or forecourt smoking area is published by either source.
Vaping
E-cigarettes and all vaping devices are banned across India under the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act 2019, so vaping is not permitted anywhere at Rajkot Airport, including inside the smoking room.

Gujarat’s larger hub, the confirmed indoor smoking zone after security at Ahmedabad Airport (AMD), is the more certain option if your itinerary connects through there.
