Yes, Eindhoven Airport (EIN) has designated outdoor smoking areas. The main spot is to the right of the main terminal entrance on the departures side, with a second area near the bus stops on the arrivals level. The terminal interior is smoke-free, so smoke before you enter.
Outside Terminal
Main Entrance (Departures): The designated outdoor smoking area is to the right of the main terminal entrance. Standing ashtrays are clearly positioned and the spot is easy to find.
Arrivals Side: An additional outdoor area near the bus stops on the arrivals level, useful for passengers who’ve just landed or are waiting for ground transport.
The airport’s small footprint means you’re never more than a 2-minute walk from the outdoor smoking area from anywhere in the terminal.
Inside Terminal
The entire terminal is smoke-free, both before and after security, so plan your smoke break for the outdoor areas at the entrance or arrivals level.
Departures Process
Budget carrier gates at EIN can get busy, with large queues forming before boarding. Since there’s no airside smoking, time your last cigarette before entering the terminal building. Security lines at Eindhoven are typically short — 5 to 15 minutes — making re-screening after a smoke break relatively painless compared to Schiphol.
