Yes, you can smoke at Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport (NBE) — outside the terminal building, landside, where Tunisian law permits smoking in the open air. The airport’s own passenger-guide pages do not publish a dedicated smoking-area listing, so the airport lists no marked or designated spot.
Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport, on Tunisia’s Hammamet–Sousse coast, is operated by TAV Airports under a concession — unlike Tunisia’s other main airports, which are run by the state operator OACA.
Landside: Outside the Terminal
With no smoking-specific listing published by the airport, the option that follows from Tunisian law is the open air outside the terminal building, landside — Tunisia’s tobacco-control decrees restrict enclosed public places, not the open air. No official source names a specific spot, signage or ashtray placement, so treat this as the general legal default rather than a marked facility. A traveller described designated smoking areas outside the terminal, landside, in July 2025, consistent with this default. Step outside before check-in or after collecting your bags.
After Security
A traveller described a designated indoor smoking area near Gate 16B in May 2024; another described the airport as having no smoking area at all in July 2025. The airside primeclass lounge, run by TAV Operation Services next to Gate 19B, has no smoking room; it offers internet, TV, flight-information screens and food and drink. Passengers who are already through security should plan on the landside option instead, since the most recent account describes no facility.
Vaping
The legal status of e-cigarettes in Tunisia is unclear: they are sold with no clear regulation, and the airport publishes no separate vaping rule. Vape in the open air outside the terminal, landside, rather than inside the building or in the primeclass lounge.
