Yes, you can smoke at Pristina Adem Jashari International Airport (PRN) — outside the terminal building, landside, where Kosovo’s tobacco law permits smoking in the open air. The terminal interior is smoke-free throughout.
Pristina is Kosovo’s only international airport, and its passenger terminal reopened after a rebuild in June 2024.
Landside: Outside the Terminal
Kosovo’s Law on Tobacco Control bans smoking in nearly all indoor public places and workplaces; it does not restrict outdoor areas, so smoking outside the terminal building, landside, is lawful. Amenity listings for the airport show a “Smoking Area” among its facilities; the airport’s own site does not confirm an exact location, so treat any specific spot as unverified.
After Security
Passengers wanting a cigarette before a connecting flight should smoke landside, outside the terminal building, before security — no smoking facility is confirmed in the airside departures area of the terminal that reopened in June 2024.
Vaping
The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes, and Kosovo has no specific vaping law — see our guide on vaping rules at airports for the wider picture. Use the same outdoor areas outside the terminal as for cigarettes.
