Yes, Åre Östersund Airport (OSD) has designated smoking areas. They are outdoor, located outside the terminal building before security. Snus can be used anywhere inside, including after security.
Airport Layout
Åre Östersund Airport is operated by Swedavia and lies about 11 km west of Östersund, serving as the main gateway to the Åre ski resort roughly 95 km away. It handled around 239,000 passengers in 2024, with traffic peaking sharply in the winter ski season. The core network is the SAS link to Stockholm Arlanda, with seasonal SAS flights to Copenhagen, Norwegian seasonal service and winter ski charters such as Transavia from the Netherlands. It is a compact single terminal, so check-in, security and the gate are close together and quick to clear.
Smoking Areas
Before security: Smoking is permitted only at the designated outdoor areas outside the terminal, marked and set back from the entrance doors. This is the only smoking location at the airport.
After security: There are no smoking areas after security. Once past screening, you cannot smoke until you exit the terminal. Given the small size of the airport, stepping back outside is quick; still, plan your smoke break before clearing security.
Snus and Alternatives
Snus (smokeless tobacco) is deeply rooted in Swedish culture and widely used across the country. You can use snus anywhere in the terminal, including after security, as it produces no smoke. Snus and nicotine pouches are available at shops in the terminal.
