Yes, Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) has smoking rooms after security in Terminal 1 — travellers report an enclosed room through the duty-free area before gates A24-A30 and further rooms in the B-gates area — plus designated outdoor smoking areas outside the departures entrances of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Terminal 1 (International and Domestic)
After security: Travellers consistently report enclosed ventilated smoking rooms airside in Terminal 1: a small room reached by turning right through the duty-free area before gates A24-A30, and rooms in the B-gates area, including one at the bottom of the escalator as you go down to gates B26-B34 and a small room beside gate B59. The operator does not publish an official smoking map, so exact positions can shift — ask staff if a room is closed. The Sala Montale lounge (paid access) also has its own smoking room.
Before security: Outdoor smoking areas are on the departures curbside outside the main entrance. The area near the short-term parking (P1) also provides open space with ashtrays.
Terminal 2 (Low-Cost Carriers)
The outdoor smoking area is outside the terminal entrance on the departures level. Terminal 2 primarily serves easyJet and is significantly smaller and more compact than Terminal 1. Travellers report a small smoking booth airside toward the D and E gates; smoke at the outdoor zone before the checkpoint if you cannot locate it.
Security re-screening at Terminal 2 is typically faster, making round-trip smoke breaks more feasible — approximately 15-20 minutes total.
Outside Terminals
Standing ashtrays are at all terminal entrance areas. The shuttle bus stop area between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 has additional open-air space.
