Yes, you can smoke at Miyako Airport (MMY) — landside in the 1F arrival lobby, or airside on 2F, in the boarding-gate area near Gate A and Gate B, after the security checkpoint.
1F — Arrival Lobby
The airport’s own floor guide places a smoking area on 1F within the arrival lobby, next to the police substation and a post box, close to the taxi rank and bus stop outside — a landside spot whether you have just landed or are seeing someone off.
2F — Boarding-Gate Area
A second smoking area sits on 2F, according to the airport’s official floor-guide diagram, inside the boarding-gate block that also holds the Okinawa DFS and Green Leaf shops, next to Gate A and Gate B. The terminal’s security checkpoint sits at the edge of that same block, so this smoking area is airside, past security.
Vaping
The airport does not publish a separate rule for e-cigarettes; confirm with airport staff before vaping.
