Yes, Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) has designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal building. You will find them along the departures and arrivals curbs, marked with signage and set back from the doorways.

Smoking at Tallahassee (TLH) — The Basics

Tallahassee International Airport is a compact single-terminal airport, so every smoking area is outside the terminal building. The terminal has two levels: an upper level holding check-in, security and most gates, and a lower level with baggage claim, car rental and the arrivals doors. Step out through either set of doors and look for the marked outdoor areas along the curb.

Tallahassee Terminal — Outdoor Smoking Areas

Designated smoking spots are positioned outside the entrances on both levels, set back from the doors so you stay clear of the no-smoking area near the entrances. The terminal interior is smoke-free, and that covers e-cigarettes and vaping devices as well.

Departures Level (Upper)

Outside the departures and ticketing doors you will find designated outdoor smoking spots along the curb. These are handy if you are being dropped off and want a cigarette before heading through the single security checkpoint.

Arrivals Level (Lower)

After collecting your bags at the lower-level baggage claim, step outside the arrivals doors to the smoking areas along the curb. This is the easiest option once you land, before you arrange a ride or rental car.
