Yes, Samara Kurumoch Airport (KUF) has designated indoor smoking rooms airside in the departure zone, so you can smoke after security, plus marked outdoor smoking points by the terminal entrances on the landside.

Kurumoch is Samara’s gateway on the Volga, serving the Samara–Tolyatti region with both domestic and international flights from a single modern passenger terminal opened in 2015. Domestic and international departures sit under one roof, with the smoking facilities following the standard Russian airport pattern: enclosed rooms airside and outdoor points landside.

Departure Zone (Airside) Smoking Rooms

After security, in the airside departure area, look for the designated enclosed smoking rooms. These are ventilated cabins marked with smoking signage, the usual arrangement at Russian airports so passengers can smoke without re-clearing security. Both the domestic and international departure sides are served from the same terminal building.

Landside & Outside the Terminal

Before security, the simplest option is to step outside. There are marked outdoor smoking points by the entrances to the terminal, away from the doors, with ashtrays. If you arrive early or are meeting someone, this is the place to smoke on the landside.
