Да, в аэропорту Грозный (GRV) можно курить — но только на улице, до досмотра, рядом со входом в терминал. Курительной комнаты внутри терминала нет.

Grozny Airport Smoking Policy
Grozny (Severny) Airport operates from a single existing passenger terminal; a larger new international terminal is still under construction. The terminal does not have a ventilated indoor smoking room, so there is no place to smoke after security — plan to smoke outdoors near the entrance before screening.
Russian federal law has permitted airports to install isolated, ventilated indoor smoking rooms since the 2020 amendment, and many larger hubs use them. Grozny is not among them: it has no indoor smoking facility at present.
