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 The airport’s own passenger-guide pages do not publish a dedicated smoking-area listing, so no marked or designated spot is confirmed.
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, and enforcement is loose in practice, the same pattern already established at Tunisia’s other airports. No official source names a specific spot, signage or ashtray placement, so treat this as the general legal default rather than a confirmed facility. A July 2025 traveller report and an independent aviation-travel guide, last updated July 2026, both describe designated smoking areas outside the terminal, landside, consistent with this default. Step outside before check-in or after collecting your bags.
After Security
Two dated traveller reports on a travel-smoking site disagree about a facility after security. One review, dated May 2024, described a designated indoor smoking area near Gate 16B; a later review on the same site, dated July 2025, said the airport no longer had a smoking area at all. The airside primeclass lounge, run by TAV Operation Services next to Gate 19B, lists internet, TV, flight-information screens and food and drink among its amenities on its own booking page, with no smoking room included. Passengers who are already through security should plan on the landside option instead, since the most recent report describes no facility.
Vaping
E-cigarettes are sold in Tunisia with no clear regulation. Treat a vape like a cigarette at Enfidha–Hammamet: use it in the open air outside the terminal, landside, rather than inside the building or in the primeclass lounge.
