Smoking at Lithuania Airports (VNO, KUN)

Lithuania’s two commercial airports run the same pattern: Vilnius International Airport (VNO) and Kaunas Airport (KUN) both publish a smoking room inside the departure terminal, behind the aviation security check, plus designated, marked areas near the terminal for landside smoking.

For a layover at either airport, a departing or connecting smoker can use the indoor room without leaving the secure zone.

How Lithuanian Airport Smoking Works

Lithuania’s Law on Tobacco, Tobacco Products and Associated Products bans smoking in enclosed public spaces, so the general terminal, halls and gate areas are smoke-free by default; both airports designate specific exceptions:

A smoking room inside the departure terminal, behind the aviation security check, at both Vilnius (VNO) and Kaunas (KUN)
Designated, marked areas near the terminal at both airports, for landside smoking
The general terminal, gate areas and departure halls at both airports are smoke-free
E-cigarettes and vaporizers are strictly prohibited outside those designated areas, per both airports’ own FAQ pages

Vilnius International Airport (VNO)

Lithuania’s main gateway. Vilnius Airport’s smoking room sits inside the departure terminal, behind the aviation security check, per the airport’s own FAQ; landside, marked areas near the terminal cover smoking before check-in or after arrival.

Kaunas Airport (KUN)

Lithuania’s second airport and Ryanair’s Lithuanian base. Kaunas Airport’s smoking room sits inside the departure terminal, behind the aviation security check, per the airport’s own FAQ; landside, marked areas near the terminal cover smoking before check-in or after arrival.

Tips for Smokers at Lithuanian Airports

Both airports keep an indoor smoking room behind security — useful for a smoke break without leaving the secure zone
Landside, use the marked areas near the terminal rather than the general forecourt
E-cigarettes and vaporizers follow the same rule as cigarettes at both airports — confined to the designated room and marked areas
