Yes, you can smoke at Appleton International Airport (ATW) — outdoors only, on the curb in front of the terminal. ATW is a compact single-terminal airport serving the Fox Valley, and the terminal building is smoke-free, so step outside the doors to light up.
Where to Smoke at ATW
Smoke outdoors on the curbside footpath in front of the terminal, near the entrances but well clear of the doors. With one small terminal, there is no enclosed smoking shelter — the open curb is where travellers light up while waiting for a ride or before heading inside to check in. Keep your distance from the doors so smoke does not drift into the building.
There is no smoking area past security. To smoke after you have checked in, you must leave the secure area, head to the curb, and re-clear the TSA checkpoint before boarding. Screening here is quick compared with a large hub, but still leave a buffer so you are not rushed.
Wisconsin Indoor Smoking Law
Wisconsin’s statewide smoke-free air law bans smoking inside the terminal and other enclosed public places. There is no fixed statewide distance from doorways, but the airport directs smokers to the outdoor curb areas — stand clear of the entrances out of courtesy and to keep smoke outside.
