Yes, Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO) provides indoor smoking booths in the departure lounge airside, after security, plus designated outdoor smoking areas landside outside the terminal. The official airport site notes that smoking outdoors is not permitted after the security check — the airside booths are the post-security option.
Airport Status
Skavsta is a compact, single-terminal low-cost airport near Nyköping, about 100 km southwest of Stockholm, owned mainly by the Arlandastad Group (with the local municipality holding a minority stake). It handled around 365,000 passengers in 2024. Ryanair, long the dominant carrier, moved its Stockholm operation to Arlanda in 2021, and today the scheduled network is led by Wizz Air and Norwegian, with additional routes added periodically. Because of the distance to the city, allow about 80 minutes for the airport bus to central Stockholm.
Smoking Areas
Indoor booths (departure lounge, airside): The airport provides smoking booths in the departure lounge for passengers to use after passing security. The rest of the terminal building operates a no-smoking policy.
Outdoors (landside): Before security, smoking is allowed in designated areas only, set back from the entrance as Swedish law requires. Once you have passed through the security check, outdoor smoking is not permitted, so the airside booths take over.
Skavsta is a compact, single-terminal low-cost airport, so the landside outdoor areas and the airside booths are a short walk apart. Swedish winters can be cold, with temperatures dropping well below freezing from November through March, so the indoor booths are useful in the colder months.
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 available at terminal shops.
