Yes, Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) has an indoor smoking cabin after security, located across from Gates 19A/20A, plus marked outdoor areas outside the terminal. Snus can be used anywhere inside, including airside.
Airport Layout
Landvetter is Sweden’s second-busiest airport (around 5.3 million passengers in 2024) and is operated by Swedavia. It traditionally ran separate domestic and international terminals, but these have been merged into a single common terminal, with air bridges at Gates 12-17 and 19-23 and bus-boarding stands for other gates. A 2023 expansion brought non-Schengen passport processing into the main terminal building.
Indoor Smoking Cabin (After Security)
Across from Gates 19A/20A: The airside smoking cabin sits just before passport control, accessible to most passengers in the main departures area. Sweden’s tobacco law permits enclosed, ventilated indoor smoking rooms, and Landvetter is among the Swedish airports that have kept one rather than going fully smoke-free.
Important: When Gates 19/20 are used for non-Schengen flights (often UK departures), they are separated from the cabin by a glass wall. Passengers waiting at Gates 19B/20B cannot reach the cabin without going back through the passport checkpoint, so smoke before you pass into that holding area.
Outdoor Smoking Areas
Smoking is also permitted outdoors in marked areas outside the terminal building, set back from the entrances as Swedish law requires. On arrival, there is an outdoor smoking area just beyond the terminal once you have cleared customs.
Snus and Alternatives
Snus (smokeless tobacco) is widely used across Sweden and produces no smoke, so it can be used anywhere in the terminal, including after security. Snus and nicotine pouches are sold at terminal shops. E-cigarettes are treated the same as cigarettes and should be used in the designated smoking areas.
