Yes, you can smoke at Gaziantep Airport (GZT) — on an open-air terrace after security in the Domestic Terminal, near Gate 106, which travellers described in July 2023 and April 2026. 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
Travellers described in July 2023 and again in April 2026 an open-air terrace at the end of the domestic departure hall near Gate 106, next to a café, reachable after the security checkpoint. The airport does not list it.
International Terminal
The airport lists no smoking area after security 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 as cigarettes — the domestic-side terrace near Gate 106 after security, or the open air landside. Vaping is not permitted inside the terminal building.
