Yes, you can smoke at Yaroslavl Tunoshna Airport (IAR). The most dependable place is the outdoor area beside the main terminal entrance, and as at most small Russian airports a ventilated indoor smoking room is typically provided inside the departures hall.
Outdoor Smoking Area
Tunoshna is a compact single-terminal airport, so the easiest and always-available option is to step outside. Smoke at the designated spot near the main terminal doors and the kerbside drop-off, keeping clear of the entrance itself. This area works for arriving passengers, anyone before check-in, and travellers who have time before screening.
Indoor Smoking Room
Like other regional Russian airports, IAR generally maintains an enclosed, ventilated smoking room rather than allowing smoking in open terminal areas. Look for a marked smoking room in the departures hall, or ask at the information desk for its current location. Because the terminal is small and services are limited, it is worth confirming with airport staff that an after-security room is open before you rely on it; if it is closed, smoke outside before passing through screening.
