# Smoking at Gaziantep Airport – GZT

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.
