Smoking Regulations at Singapore Airports

Singapore enforces strict anti-smoking laws under the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act. Smoking is prohibited inside all public buildings, including Changi Airport terminals. However, Changi Airport provides designated outdoor smoking areas, including open-air gardens and rooftop terraces accessible from transit zones.

Fines for smoking in non-designated areas start at S$200 (approximately US$150) and can be much higher for repeat offenders.

What to Expect at Changi Airport

Designated outdoor smoking areas are clearly marked with signs. Transit passengers can access outdoor gardens without clearing immigration. The smoking areas are open-air spaces, so they are subject to weather conditions.

Vaping products are illegal in Singapore. The import, sale, and use of e-cigarettes, vape pens, and heated tobacco products is banned. Do not bring any vaping devices — they will be confiscated and you may face fines.
