Travellers also report a smoking room in the duty-free area past immigration — look for the sign and find the entrance on the side, as the front-facing door is often locked, which can give the impression the room is closed.

Smoking area past security still there 30 August but Zambian transport rules mean security confiscate any and *all* lighters they find and there is no independent means of lighting up in smoking room. So unless you manage to secrete a lighter in your hand luggage or you meet someone who has, it's all a bit pointless. No lighters on sale airside.
