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. ## Summary | Area | Smoking | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | 1F Arrival Lobby | Yes | Landside, near the police substation and taxi/bus stop | | 2F boarding-gate area (Gate A / Gate B) | Yes | Airside, after security | | Vaping | — | No separate rule published; confirm with airport staff | If you’re connecting through Okinawa’s main hub, [Naha Airport’s smoking rooms include several after-security options across both its domestic and international terminals](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/japan/oka-smoking-at-naha-okinawa-airport/), similar to Miyako’s own airside area near Gate A and Gate B.
