Yes, you can smoke at Yangon International Airport (RGN). Terminal 1 has smoking rooms past immigration and security on the First and Second Floors, marked on the airport’s own maps; before security, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Terminal 1 – International Departures (Airside Smoking Rooms)
Check in on the Ground Floor, then take the escalator up to the First Floor for immigration and security. Past security, the airport’s First Floor map marks a smoking room at the Gate 9 end of the transit area, beside the toilets next to the lounge area. One floor up, the Second Floor map marks a second room beside the toilets at the end of the shopping level, near the Events Area and the Kinokuniya bookshop. ANA’s Yangon airport guide lists smoking rooms on both floors as well. The airport lists no opening hours for the rooms, so ask staff on the floor if you cannot find one.
Terminal 1 – International Arrivals
Arriving passengers enter Terminal 1 on the First Floor and take the escalator down to immigration, baggage claim and customs on the Ground Floor. ANA’s guide lists a smoking room on that First Floor; ask staff whether you can use it before you go down. Once you are through customs, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Terminal 3 – Domestic Flights
Terminal 3 serves Myanmar’s domestic network, and the inter-terminal shuttle links it with Terminal 1. The airport publishes no Terminal 3 map and lists no smoking room there, so smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks, before you go in, and ask staff once inside whether there is a room past security.
Landside – Before Security
Before security at either terminal, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks. The airport’s Terminal 1 Ground Floor map, which covers check-in and the arrivals hall, marks no smoking room, so ask staff if you need a spot before check-in.
