Victoria Falls Airport Smoking Policy

Zimbabwe’s tobacco legislation restricts smoking in enclosed public places, and Victoria Falls Airport enforces an indoor smoking ban throughout the terminal. The airport, which was expanded and modernized in 2016 to handle growing tourist traffic, does not provide any indoor smoking lounges or rooms. All smoking must take place outside the terminal building in the designated outdoor areas. VFA primarily serves international tourists visiting Victoria Falls, so the airport maintains reasonably clear signage compared to smaller Zimbabwean airports. Fines may apply for those caught smoking inside the terminal, and staff are generally vigilant about enforcing the rules.
