Yes, you can smoke at Lisbon Airport (LIS / Humberto Delgado). Terminal 1 has enclosed indoor smoking rooms after security, and there are designated outdoor smoking areas landside at the terminal entrances.

Lisbon is the main hub for TAP Air Portugal. Terminal 1 handles the bulk of flights, while Terminal 2 is a departures-only facility used mostly by low-cost carriers.

Where to Smoke

Terminal 1 (airside, after security):

  • Enclosed smoking room reported near Gates S19–S21 for regular cigarettes (reported open 24/7).
  • Enclosed smoking room reported near Gates N45–N47.
  • A separate e-cigarette/vape area reported near Gate 47, which closes around 8 pm.
  • A smoking room inside the ANA Lounge (Floor 1, paid access ~€36).

Gate numbers are traveller-reported and can shift, so confirm the nearest room with airport staff or signage once airside.

Terminal 2 (departures-only, low-cost): There is no confirmed airside smoking facility. Recent reports say the old T2 room is closed — check on-site before relying on it.

Landside: Designated smoking areas are located outside the terminal entrances.

Vaping

Vaping is confined to designated areas, such as the e-cigarette area reported near Gate 47 (closes around 8 pm). It is banned elsewhere indoors and is not permitted onboard.

The legal hook: Portugal’s 2025 tobacco law bans indoor smoking rooms in most venues by 2030, but it explicitly exempts airports and long-distance transport hubs. That exemption is why Lisbon Airport can legally keep its enclosed indoor smoking rooms.
