Yes, you can smoke at Multan International Airport (MUX) — in the open air outside the terminal building, landside. Pakistan’s smoking ordinance covers enclosed public places, so open-air smoking is permitted; the airport publishes no designated smoking area, and no facility after security is confirmed.

MUX is South Punjab’s largest airport, working from a single terminal that reopened in its current form in March 2015.

Terminal and Airside

Multan’s operator, the Pakistan Airports Authority, publishes no smoking room or area for this terminal, and no facility after security is confirmed. Pakistan’s Prohibition of Smoking and Protection of Non-Smokers Health Ordinance covers enclosed public places, so the interior is treated as smoke-free.

CIP Lounge

International departures has one paid lounge, the CIP Lounge, on the 1st floor opposite the immigration counter, open from three hours before scheduled departure. Its published amenities — air conditioning, digital card payment, disabled access, flight-information displays and newspapers — do not include a smoking room; American Express’s Global Lounge Collection listing for this lounge names it explicitly as a non-smoking lounge.

Landside (Outdoor)

Open-air smoking outside the terminal building, landside, is permitted under Pakistan’s smoking ordinance, which covers enclosed public places rather than the open air. The airport publishes no marked or designated smoking spot.

Vaping

Pakistan has no dedicated law regulating vaping; e-cigarettes sit in a legal gray area, and a regulatory bill covering nicotine-delivery products remains before the Senate as of early 2026. MUX publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes, so use the same open-air landside option as for cigarettes.
