How Luxembourg Airport Smoking Works
The anti-tobacco law (Loi du 11 août 2006 relative à la lutte antitabac, as amended) bans smoking in the places it lists, among them hospitals, schools, cinemas, museums, public buildings, public transport, restaurants, bars, shopping arcades and food shops (Article 6), and lets a bar, restaurant or hotel install a smoking room only as a separate, ventilated room with ministerial authorisation, no service inside and no minors. Since 2017 the law has counted inhaling e-cigarette vapour as smoking, so the same place rules apply to vaping; the 2025 amendment defines heated tobacco and bans nicotine pouches in schools, premises for under-16s, playgrounds and youth sports enclosures. Fines for smoking in a listed place run from €25 to €250. The law does not name an airport terminal, so at Luxembourg Airport the operative rule is the airport’s own: smoking and vaping are banned anywhere inside the terminal, and the smoking areas are outside, in front of the building. In practice:
- Designated smoking areas outside the terminal, in front of the building, before security; no door, level or hours published, so ask staff for the nearest one
- No smoking area after security, in Terminal A or Terminal B, and no return to the outdoor areas once you have passed security
- No smoking or vaping inside the terminal under the airport’s house rules
- E-cigarettes and heated tobacco outdoors: the airport publishes no rule, so ask staff
