Yes, you can smoke at Kalibo International Airport (KLO) — outside the terminal building, landside, where Philippine law permits smoking in the open air. The terminal itself is smoke-free throughout.
KLO is one of two airports serving Boracay, a single two-level terminal in Aklan province.
Outside the Terminal (Landside)
Executive Order No. 26 (2017) permits — without requiring — Philippine airports to keep an outdoor designated smoking area, and KLO follows that pattern: smoking is outside the terminal building, landside. The travel-directory site airportsmokinglounge.com places the spot there without a gate number or forecourt side, and it is the only source that documents a location at all — ask airline ground staff or the information counter if you cannot see signage from where you are dropped off.
Inside the Terminal — Smoke-Free
The terminal is smoke-free on both levels. No facility past the security checkpoint is confirmed, so once you clear the checkpoint on the ground floor, plan for a smoke-free wait through to boarding. If you are transiting and want a cigarette, smoke before you check in.
E-Cigarettes and Vaping
KLO publishes no separate rule for vapes. E-cigarettes follow the same landside spot outside the terminal that applies to cigarettes; vaping and heated-tobacco products are legal nationwide under Republic Act 11900, the Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act (2022), and devices and e-liquids can travel in hand luggage.
