Smoking Area Inside Nagpur Airport Terminal
The smoking area is well-marked and ventilated, sitting above the main departures hall, and like other Indian airport smoking rooms it has a wall-mounted electric lighter for use once your own is taken at security — here’s how to use the machine, with video. This is the only airside smoking zone at NAG — there are no other rooms deeper in the terminal, so visit before settling at your departure gate.
Outside Terminals
