# Kosovo Airport Smoking Areas

Kosovo’s only international airport is Pristina Adem Jashari International Airport (PRN), and smoking there happens outdoors: outside the terminal building, landside, before security. The airport reopened a rebuilt passenger terminal in June 2024, and its interior — including the gates area — is smoke-free.

## How Kosovo Airport Smoking Works

Kosovo’s Law on Tobacco Control (Law No. 04/L-156, amended in 2021 by Law No. 08/L-040) bans smoking in nearly all indoor public places and workplaces; designated indoor smoking rooms are permitted only in a short list of settings such as healthcare facilities, retirement communities, prisons and hotel rooms:

- **Smoking outdoors** at Pristina Airport, outside the terminal building, before security, is lawful under the law’s indoor-only scope
- The terminal interior and airside area, past security, have no smoking facility
- The terminal building, including check-in, the departure hall and the gates area, is **smoke-free**
- **E-cigarettes** are not covered by a specific national law; the airport publishes no separate vaping rule

## Tips for Smokers at Kosovo Airports

- Pristina’s smoking option is landside, outside the terminal, before security
- Kosovo has no specific vaping law, and the airport posts no separate rule — the same outdoor area works for e-cigarettes
- The rebuilt terminal that opened in June 2024 has no post-security smoking facility, so plan a layover smoke break before security
- Ask airport information if you need the current location for outdoor smoking
