Bohol–Panglao International Airport (TAG) has no published smoking area — none indoors, airside or outdoors — so smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks, before you arrive, and ask staff on the day whether anything has changed.
TAG is Bohol’s main gateway, a single two-level terminal on Panglao Island.
Inside the Terminal
The terminal is smoke-free throughout, in the public concourse, at the gates and in any lounge space. No smoking room or designated indoor spot is published anywhere in the building.
Outside the Terminal and the Car Park
Travellers described in November 2019 that there was no smoking area inside or outside the terminal, and that airport security warned against smoking even in the car park. Smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks, before you arrive, and ask staff on the day whether anything has changed.
Vaping
No smoking or vaping area is published anywhere on TAG’s property, so treat an e-cigarette exactly like a cigarette. Vapes and heated-tobacco products remain legal to carry nationwide under Republic Act 11900, the Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act (2022); pack a device and e-liquids in your hand luggage, with no spot on site to use them.
