How Dubai Compares
Dubai International is among the best airports in the world for smokers thanks to its indoor lounges in every terminal. Singapore Changi Airport takes a different approach with outdoor gardens and terraces in the transit area, while Istanbul Airport offers a similar level of indoor comfort with dedicated smoking lounges after security.
E-cigarettes and vapes may only be used inside the designated smoking areas, the same as cigarettes.
