Zambia Smoking Regulations
Zambia’s Tobacco Products Control Act restricts smoking in enclosed public spaces, including airports. Kenneth Kaunda International Airport enforces an indoor smoking ban in general terminal areas, though the post-immigration smoking room provides a designated exception. Penalties exist for smoking in restricted areas, but enforcement varies depending on the location within the airport. Outdoor smoking is generally permitted in areas away from terminal entrances.
Tips for Smokers at Lusaka Airport
- The smoking room in the duty free area after immigration at Kenneth Kaunda Airport has a side entrance that is open, even though the front-facing door appears locked. Do not assume it is closed.
- If you have lounge access, the SAA lounge at Lusaka Airport includes a smoking section, which is a more comfortable option for a smoke break before your flight.
- For departing passengers who have not yet cleared immigration, step outside the main terminal building and look for outdoor areas away from the entrance doors.
- Bring your own cigarettes as availability inside Lusaka Airport can be inconsistent, and prices at duty free may be higher than in town.
