New Chitose Airport Smoking Policy

Japan’s Health Promotion Act requires enclosed, ventilated smoking rooms. CTS has around 15 rooms, one of the highest counts in Japan. Heated tobacco products (IQOS, Ploom, glo) are welcome in all rooms. No outdoor smoking areas are provided — all designated areas are indoor rooms. The airport is undergoing renovations (since October 2025), so some rooms may be temporarily relocated.

For Japan airport smoking rules and heated-tobacco etiquette, see our Japan smoking guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I smoke inside Sapporo New Chitose Airport (CTS)?

Yes. New Chitose Airport has around 15 enclosed smoking rooms — one of the highest counts of any airport in Japan — spread across the arrival floor, departure gate areas, food court, and lounges. All are indoor; there are no outdoor smoking areas.

Where are the smoking areas at Sapporo New Chitose Airport?

Landside rooms are on the 1F arrivals floor (domestic north and south, plus the international entrance) and on the 3F shopping and food-court level. Airside rooms sit near most domestic gate clusters (Gates A through E) and near international Gates 66, 67 and 71. Look for the clearly marked 喫煙室 signs.

Is there a smoking area after security at Sapporo New Chitose Airport (CTS)?

Yes. Airside smoking rooms are located near most domestic boarding gates (the A, B, C, D and E gate areas) and near international Gates 66, 67 and 71, so you can smoke after clearing security without leaving the secure zone.

Can I vape at Sapporo New Chitose Airport (CTS)?

Heated tobacco products such as IQOS, Ploom and glo are welcome in all of New Chitose’s smoking rooms — use the same rooms as for cigarettes. Note that nicotine e-cigarette liquids are not sold in Japan, so heated tobacco is the practical alternative for most travellers.
