No, you cannot smoke inside Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL). There are no smoking rooms anywhere inside the terminal — smoking is permitted only at the designated outdoor areas outside the terminal building, landside. That means airside passengers must exit to smoke.
Oslo Airport is the largest airport in Norway and the country’s main international gateway, operated by Avinor. It is a busy hub for both domestic and international travel, so it is worth knowing where you can light up before you arrive.
Where to Smoke
Smoking at OSL is outdoors only. Head to the designated outdoor areas outside the terminal building — typically near the kerbside and the main entrances, on the landside forecourt.
There are no indoor airside smoking rooms anywhere after security — not in the domestic, Schengen or non-Schengen piers. If you want to smoke during a layover, you must clear passport control and security, exit to landside, smoke at the outdoor area, and then re-clear security to return airside. Factor in the extra time before deciding whether a smoke is worth it on a short connection.
Vaping
Norway treats e-cigarettes the same as tobacco. Vaping is banned in indoor public places and on public transport, so the rules inside the terminal are identical to those for cigarettes. Vape only at the outdoor designated areas outside the building.
