Jordan Airport Smoking Regulations
Jordan’s Public Health Law No. 47/2008 bans smoking in enclosed public spaces, including airports, hospitals, and government buildings. Unlike many Gulf neighbours, Jordan does not generally provide indoor smoking rooms at airports. Instead, designated outdoor smoking areas are available, which is more feasible in Jordan thanks to its Mediterranean-influenced climate with milder temperatures than the Arabian Gulf. Amman’s elevation of around 800 metres keeps summers warm but tolerable, even compared to sea-level Gulf cities. Jordan has a relatively high adult smoking rate, estimated at over 30% of the population, and smoking is culturally common. Tobacco products are available at duty-free shops, and prices are lower than in Europe. E-cigarettes and vaping devices are legal and should be used only in designated areas. Fines for smoking violations range from 15 to 200 Jordanian dinars.
