# Smoking at Kalibo Airport – KLO

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. No published source gives a gate number or forecourt side for the spot — 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.
