Airside status and vaping guide inside." lastmod: "2026-10-04T00:00:00Z" --- # Smoking at Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport – NBE 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 The airport’s own passenger-guide pages do not publish a dedicated smoking-area listing, so the airport lists no marked or designated spot.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. ## Summary | Area | Smoking | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Outside the terminal (landside) | Yes | Open-air default under Tunisian law; no official marked area | | Terminal interior | No | No smoking facility published | | After security (airside), incl. primeclass lounge | No confirmed area | A traveller described a Gate 16B area in May 2024; another described no smoking area in July 2025; the primeclass lounge has no smoking room | | Vaping | Yes, outdoors | Open air landside; legal status in Tunisia unclear; no separate airport rule | For Tunisia’s airport smoking rules and vaping law, see our [Tunisia airport smoking guide](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/tunisia/). ## Useful Links - [Enfidha–Hammamet Airport facilities and services (official site)](https://www.enfidhahammametairport.com/en-EN/passenger-guide/airport-facilities-services) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can you smoke at Enfidha–Hammamet Airport?
