Yes, you can smoke at Podgorica Airport (TGD) — outdoors, on the forecourt outside the single passenger terminal. Montenegro’s smoking restrictions apply to enclosed public spaces, so the open ground outside the building is available; the terminal interior itself is smoke-free throughout.
Podgorica Airport is Montenegro’s main international gateway, in the capital, with a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights.
Outside the Terminal (Landside)
Outside the building, landside, is the only place to smoke at TGD — the airport does not publish a marked or signed smoking spot, so treat the open forecourt on either the departures or arrivals side as available, and step further from the doors if a no-smoking sign is posted nearby.
After Security (Airside)
Once through security, the departure lounge and gates are smoke-free with no airside room. Transit and connecting passengers who want a cigarette have to exit through arrivals, smoke outside, and re-clear security to reach their gate.
E-Cigarettes and Vaping
Montenegro’s 2019 amendment to its tobacco law extended public-place restrictions to e-cigarettes, so vaping follows the same rule as smoking at TGD — outside the terminal, not in the building.
