Yes, Vladivostok International Airport (VVO) has an indoor smoking room for passengers. The airport operates from a single modern passenger building, Terminal A, which has a ventilated indoor smoking room in the domestic departures airside zone, plus outdoor smoking areas by the entrance.
Terminal A – Indoor Smoking Room
Terminal A, the airport’s modern passenger building near the town of Artyom, has an indoor smoking room in the sterile (airside) zone of the domestic departures area. It opened in August 2023, is fitted with a powerful ventilation and smoke-detection system, and holds around 12 people. Domestic departing passengers who have cleared security can use it without leaving the secure zone — follow the smoking-room signage in the departure hall.
Outside the Terminal
Outdoor smoking is permitted at marked areas in front of Terminal A, set away from the main entrance doors. Arriving passengers and anyone before security can step outside to these designated spots. The Russian Far East climate is cold in winter, so the indoor rooms are the more comfortable option in the colder months.
