Yes, you can smoke at Nizhnekamsk Begishevo Airport (NBC) outdoors, in front of the terminal away from the entrances, before security. No indoor smoking room is publicly documented here, so plan to smoke landside before you check in.
Да, в аэропорту Нижнекамск Бегишево (NBC) курить можно на улице — перед терминалом, в стороне от входов, до досмотра. Курительная комната внутри официально не подтверждена, поэтому планируйте курить до регистрации.
Outside Terminals: Smoking is permitted outside, away from the entrances.
Nizhnekamsk Begishevo Airport Smoking Areas
Begishevo Airport serves Nizhnekamsk and Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan and is open and operating normally. It opened a new three-storey domestic terminal in September 2023, with a separate international section, and handles routes to Moscow, Kazan, Sochi and a few international destinations.
We could not find a publicly documented indoor smoking room at Begishevo — the detailed amenity list for the new terminal does not mention one, and other official and traveller sources are silent on it. Because of that, the dependable plan is to smoke outdoors, in front of the terminal, before you check in and clear security. We will not claim an airside smoking cabin that we cannot verify.
If you do need to smoke after passing security, ask staff on the day, but be prepared for there to be no airside option. Vaping and heated-tobacco devices follow the same rules as cigarettes and are not allowed inside the terminal.
