Yes, open-air smoking outside the terminal building, landside, is permitted at Lomé–Tokoin International Airport (LFW); the airport publishes no designated area and lists no smoking facility after security.
LFW — officially Aéroport International Gnassingbé Eyadéma — is Togo’s main international gateway and the home hub of ASKY Airlines, with Ethiopian Airlines also routing connecting traffic through it.
Landside — Outside the Terminal
Open-air smoking outside the terminal building, landside, is permitted before check-in and security, under Togo’s 2011 tobacco-control law (implemented by Decree No. 2012-046), which bans smoking in public places. The airport has not published a designated or marked spot.
After Security — Airside
The airport publishes no services or amenities listing that names a smoking facility after security. Transiting ASKY and Ethiopian Airlines passengers without a landside window before their onward flight should plan a smoke-free connection.
Vaping
Treat a vape the same as a cigarette and use the landside option outside the terminal; the airport publishes no vaping rule of its own.
