Yes, you can smoke at Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport (IFN) — open-air smoking outside the terminal buildings, landside, is permitted; the airport publishes no designated area. No smoking facility inside the terminal or after security is confirmed.

Isfahan’s airport has two terminal buildings, one domestic and one international, a short distance apart.

Terminal Buildings

No smoking facility inside either terminal, or past security in either of them, is confirmed. A traveller account from September 2018 describes an enclosed smoking room in the departures hall, on the landside before the security checkpoint; a travel-guide site’s airport directory repeats the same claim without adding a newer or independent sighting, so treat it as unconfirmed and plan to smoke in the open air outside the terminal entrance before you check in or clear security — once you are past the checkpoint there is no way back out to smoke without re-screening.

Outdoor Smoking

Landside, open-air smoking outside whichever terminal building you are using is permitted; this is the only confirmed smoking option at Isfahan Airport, for arriving and departing passengers alike.

Vaping

The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes at Isfahan — use the same open-air landside option as for cigarettes.

In the open air, landside, outside either terminal building — the domestic terminal or the international terminal.
