Livingstone Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport Smoking Policy
A designated smoking room sits in the international departures area, airside. The Sleeping in Airports guide to Livingstone, updated in March 2026, names it as the one place smoking is permitted inside the terminal, and LoungeReview’s listing for the Livingstone Lounge — on the international terminal’s first floor, reached after security and passport control — places a smoking room down the hallway from the main lounge seating. The rest of the terminal is non-smoking.
Additional smoking areas are located outside the terminal building. If you have not yet cleared security, smoke outdoors before entering departures.
