For international travel to Martinique, Aimé Césaire (FDF) is the airport that matters — there is no second commercial airport on the island.
How Martinique Airport Smoking Works
As a French overseas department, Martinique applies France’s national tobacco law, built on the 1991 Loi Évin and now codified in the Code de la santé publique:
- Smoking is banned inside enclosed public spaces, including the FDF terminal
- Smoking is available outdoors, landside, where the indoor ban does not apply
- No smoking facility inside the terminal or after security is confirmed
- E-cigarettes have no airport-specific rule published; treat the terminal interior as vape-free too
