# Smoking at Yekaterinburg Koltsovo International Airport – SVX

Yes, Yekaterinburg Koltsovo International Airport (SVX) has four indoor smoking rooms — one each in the domestic-flight and international-flight airside waiting areas, and one each in the Emerald (Izumrud) and Topaz business lounges. All are enclosed, ventilated rooms, and the two waiting-area rooms are open to every passenger, not only lounge guests.

Koltsovo is the gateway to the Urals and one of Russia’s busiest regional hubs, with the connected Terminal A (domestic) and Terminal B (international) sharing one complex. The two waiting-area rooms are open to every passenger, so you rarely have to clear security again for a smoke break.

### Domestic Terminal A (After Security)

The domestic departure waiting area has an equipped, ventilated smoking room open to all passengers — no lounge access needed. It is signed “Место для курения” (Smoking Area); follow the markings as you walk toward the gates. The Emerald (Izumrud) business lounge on the domestic side also keeps its own smoking room for lounge guests.

### International Terminal B (After Security)

In Terminal B, the international departures level on the 2nd floor has a smoking room near the international business lounge and duty-free area, past security and passport control. This is the airside option for international and transit passengers who cannot easily go back out. The Topaz business lounge on the international side has its own dedicated smoking room as well.

### Outside the Terminal (Landside)

Before security, smoke at the marked outdoor points near the terminal entrances. Russian law requires you to stand at least 15 meters from any entrance, so use the signed areas rather than lighting up by the doors. This is the easiest option while you are still landside with time before your flight.
