Smoking Regulations at Swedish Airports
Sweden’s Tobacco Act (Tobakslag) prohibits smoking in enclosed public spaces. However, some larger airports like Stockholm Arlanda maintain enclosed indoor smoking rooms with ventilation systems. Smaller airports may only offer outdoor smoking areas near terminal entrances.
Swedish snus (smokeless tobacco) is widely used and does not require a designated smoking area. It can be used anywhere in the airport.
What to Expect at Swedish Airports
At larger airports, enclosed smoking rooms are available after security. At smaller regional airports, you may need to exit the terminal building to reach outdoor smoking areas. Rooms are clearly signposted.
Vaping should be done in designated smoking areas. Snus, however, is unrestricted and can be purchased at airport shops.
