Yes, you can smoke at Turin Airport (TRN) — on an outdoor terrace after security, upper level of the departures area near the Kids Area, which the airport itself lists on its official services page. Landside, before security, Italian law permits smoking in the open air outside the terminal building.

Turin Airport, officially Sandro Pertini Airport, is Piedmont’s main gateway and runs from a single passenger terminal.

After Security (Airside)

Turin keeps its smoking option airside, so a departing or connecting passenger never has to leave the secure zone for a cigarette. From the departures area beyond the checkpoint, head to the upper level, where the terrace sits near the Kids Area — the airport’s own services page names this as the location. A 2026 renovation of the upper floor added family and work areas around it, including a new Eataly outlet nearby, which can help you spot the right corner of the concourse.

Before Security (Landside)

Before you clear security, Italian law permits smoking in the open air outside the terminal building — the Sirchia Law restricts only enclosed indoor spaces, so any open-air spot outside the doors is available. This is also the option for arriving passengers before they head to the car parks or the rail link into the city.

E-Cigarettes and Vaping

The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes. Treat vaping the same as smoking: the outdoor terrace airside, near the Kids Area, or the open air outside the terminal landside.
