Yes, you can smoke at Vilnius Airport (VNO) — past security, in the smoking room inside the departure terminal that the airport’s own FAQ page names among its passenger facilities. Landside, designated marked areas near the terminal cover smoking before check-in or after arrival. The general terminal is smoke-free.

Vilnius is Lithuania’s main gateway.

The Smoking Room — Behind Security

Vilnius Airport’s own FAQ names the facility directly: special smoking rooms are available inside the departure terminal, situated behind the aviation security check.

Outside the Terminal

Landside, the same FAQ states that smoking is permitted only in designated, marked areas near the arrival and departure terminals. This covers smoking before check-in, before security, or right after landing.

E-Cigarettes and Vaping

Vilnius Airport’s FAQ states that smoking and the use of electronic devices for smoking — including e-cigarettes and vaporizers — are strictly prohibited throughout the airport aerodrome, so vaping is confined to the same smoking room and marked outdoor areas as cigarettes.
