Yes, Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) has designated smoking areas — though they are outdoor-only. Italy’s indoor-smoking ban prohibits all indoor smoking at airports. Outdoor designated areas are outside the departures entrance on the upper level and near the arrivals exit on the ground level. There is no airside smoking access.
Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is the main airport serving Venice and the Veneto region, located on the Italian mainland about 13 km from Venice’s historic center. The compact single-terminal airport has no indoor smoking facilities but offers outdoor areas outside the building.
Outside Terminal
Upper Level (Departures): The main outdoor smoking area is just outside the departures entrance doors. Ashtrays are provided along the curbside drop-off area.

Water Bus Dock Area: The walkway leading to the Alilaguna water bus dock provides open-air space. Many smokers take advantage of this area before heading into the terminal, especially if arriving by water taxi.
