Yes, you can smoke at Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) — at an open-air area after security, outside the terminal building on the airside, plus the same landside, outside the terminal building before security.

Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, Tuscany’s busiest, is a single-terminal airport handling around 5.5 million passengers a year (2024).

After Security (Airside)

Pisa’s own airport rulebook — the Regolamento di Scalo published by operator Toscana Aeroporti, in effect since 16 July 2025 — bans smoking throughout every public and operational area of the airport, landside and airside, with one exception: it is permitted “outside the Terminal, on the airside, exclusively in the premises/areas set up for smokers.” That area is past security, so a connecting passenger can reach it without re-clearing.

Because the rulebook places this area outside the terminal building, expect an open-air spot rather than an enclosed room.

Before Security (Landside)

The same rulebook permits smoking landside as well, “outside the Terminal,” before check-in or security. Arriving passengers can use the same area after they leave the building.

Vaping

Pisa’s own airport rulebook explicitly extends its smoking ban to e-cigarettes (“anche sigarette di tipo elettronico”), so vaping follows the same rule as smoking — use the open-air area airside or the landside area outside the terminal.
