Abakan International Airport Smoking Policy
Abakan Airport (officially named after General V. G. Tikhonov) is the main airport of the Republic of Khakassia in southern Siberia. It operates around the clock from a single terminal that handles both domestic flights and seasonal international charters, with border control on the ground floor.
No indoor smoking room is documented at Abakan, and Russian federal law prohibits smoking inside airport terminals (with a fine of about ₽1,500 for breaking the rule). The practical option is to smoke outdoors, away from the terminal entrance, before you clear security. There is no confirmed paid smoking lounge or airside smoking area, so smoke before screening rather than relying on stepping back out.
