Yes, you can smoke at Gaziantep Airport (GZT) — on an open-air terrace after security in the Domestic Terminal, near Gate 106, according to two dated traveller reports. Outside the terminal building, landside, open-air smoking is also permitted under Turkey’s law; the terminal interior itself is smoke-free.
Gaziantep Oğuzeli Airport is southeastern Turkey’s busiest gateway, with a single terminal building for domestic and international flights that opened in December 2021 and handles around 3.1 million passengers a year.
Domestic Terminal — After Security
Reports posted to AirportSmokers.com in July 2023 and again in April 2026 both describe an open-air terrace at the end of the domestic departure hall near Gate 106, next to a café, reachable after the security checkpoint. No official DHMİ page confirms this facility; the two reports are consistent with each other, and the more recent one is from 2026.
International Terminal
Neither a traveller report nor the DHMİ page describes an airside smoking facility on the international side of the terminal. If you are flying internationally and need to smoke after check-in, ask ground staff or the information desk whether an airside option exists — otherwise, plan to smoke landside before you enter the security area.
Landside (Before Security)
Outside the terminal building, landside, Turkey’s ban on smoking in enclosed spaces does not apply, so open-air smoking is permitted; no designated landside smoking facility is published for Gaziantep Airport.
Vaping
Turkey’s Law No. 4207 treats e-cigarettes the same as tobacco, so vaping at Gaziantep Airport is confined to the same spots reported for cigarettes — the domestic-side terrace near Gate 106 after security, or the open air landside. Vaping is not permitted inside the terminal building.
