# Smoking at Pristina Adem Jashari International Airport – PRN

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. The airport does not publish an exact location for its outdoor smoking area, so follow the signage outside the doors.

## After Security

Passengers wanting a cigarette before a connecting flight should smoke landside, outside the terminal building, before security — there is no smoking facility 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](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/can-you-smoke-or-vape-at-airports/) for the wider picture. Use the same outdoor areas outside the terminal as for cigarettes.
