Yes, Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) has designated smoking areas in its outdoor spaces. PSP is known for its open-air terminal design, with breezeway corridors and courtyards open to the desert air, but smoking is confined to the marked outdoor zones rather than the terminal walkways.

Palm Springs International Airport Smoking Areas

Designated outdoor smoking areas sit outside the terminal building, typically along the lower level (arrivals) and the curbside walkways, set back from the entrances near marked signs.

There is no post-security smoking zone, so you will need to exit the secure area and re-clear the TSA checkpoint after smoking. Plan extra time if you need a cigarette before your flight.
