Netherlands Airport Smoking Regulations
The Netherlands banned indoor smoking in all public places, including airports, bars, and restaurants, under the Tobacco and Smoking Products Act (Tabaks- en rookwarenwet) of 2008. All Dutch airports enforce a strict indoor smoking ban with no exceptions. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Europe’s third-busiest hub, removed its last indoor smoking lounges in 2020 after years of gradual phase-out. Smoking is only permitted in designated outdoor areas, and some airports enforce a 10-meter distance from building entrances. E-cigarettes and heated tobacco products (IQOS) are regulated the same as conventional cigarettes and may only be used in outdoor smoking areas. Fines for smoking in prohibited areas start at €450.
