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 — there is no marked or signed smoking spot named on any published source, 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.
