Smoking inside the terminal is generally discouraged, but there are no dedicated smoking rooms or clearly marked areas. Most passengers smoke freely in the outdoor spaces surrounding the compact terminal building. Madagascar treats e-cigarettes the same as conventional cigarettes; neither is formally regulated at airports.
