Yes, you can smoke at Pasighat Tong Airport (PYB) in the open air outside the terminal. As a compact single-terminal regional airport in Arunachal Pradesh, smoking is in designated outdoor spots near the entrance forecourt and the car park rather than in an indoor lounge.
Outside the Terminal
Pasighat has one small passenger terminal handling UDAN regional flights, so the practical place to smoke is outdoors before you go through security. Use the open area in front of the terminal entrance and around the adjacent car park, standing clear of doorways, windows and the covered forecourt where people queue and wait.
Because the building is compact and the walk from check-in to the boarding gate is short, give yourself a cigarette before entering. Once you are airside there is no confirmed indoor smoking room.
Terminal and Airside
Pasighat’s terminal is a single, modest building typical of Arunachal’s regional airports. There is no documented enclosed smoking cabin inside the departure hall. If you are unsure where the nearest outdoor spot is, ask airline ground staff or the terminal helpdesk rather than security personnel.
