Edinburgh Airport (EDI) lists no smoking area on its pages or maps, inside the terminal, after security or outside it. Travellers described smoking in the open air outside the terminal in November 2025, with no area after security. Smoke outside the terminal, away from the doors, and ask staff for the nearest spot; otherwise smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks. Scottish law lists airport passenger terminals among its no-smoking premises (Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 and the 2006 Regulations).
Outside the terminal
The airport marks no smoking spot on its before-security, after-security or transport maps and lists none among its services. Travellers described smoking in the open air outside the terminal in November 2025. Smoke outside the building, away from the doors, and ask staff for the nearest place. Scotland’s other main airport, Glasgow (GLA), has signposted outdoor areas on its central island.
After security
The airport lists no smoking area after security, and travellers described none in November 2025. The Turkish Airlines Lounge, listed near gate 13 on one operator page and near gate 16 on another, the Aspire Lounge near gate 16 and the Escape Lounge next to gate 4 list no smoking room or terrace. Ask staff; otherwise a cigarette during a connection means leaving the secure area, smoking in the open air outside and clearing security again.
Vaping
The airport publishes no rule for e-cigarettes or heated tobacco, inside the terminal or outside it, so ask staff before using either; the UK rule on e-cigarettes is on our United Kingdom guide below.
