No, Cheboksary Airport (CSY) no longer has an indoor smoking room. The airside smoking room in the departure hall was closed in 2026 and turned into a children’s play area, so the terminal is now non-smoking. Smoke outside the building before you pass through security.
Нет, в аэропорту Чебоксары (CSY) больше нет курительной комнаты внутри здания. Курительную комнату в зоне вылета (чистой зоне) закрыли в 2026 году и переоборудовали в детскую игровую, поэтому терминал теперь некурящий. Курите на улице до прохождения досмотра.
Outside the terminal: Smoking is permitted outdoors, away from the entrances, in line with Russian law (at least 15 metres from the doors).
Снаружи терминала: Курение разрешено на улице, вдали от входов, согласно российскому закону (не ближе 15 метров от дверей).
Cheboksary Airport Smoking Policy
Cheboksary International Airport (named after A.G. Nikolaev) is a single-terminal airport handling both domestic and international flights. Its terminal was rebuilt and expanded between 2021 and 2024.
Until early 2026 the airport kept an indoor smoking room airside, in the departure waiting hall after security. In 2026 that room was removed and converted into a children’s play area, so there is now no indoor smoking anywhere in the terminal. Your only option is to smoke outdoors before security; after the security check there is no smoking facility until you board.
