Before Smoking
Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminals.
After Security Smoking
KLIA - Satellite building
Update from Suzanne, April 2022: Smoking rooms still open near C11 and C30 as of 5 April 2022. Malaysia Airlines satellite lounge also reopened 1 April 2022 with the smoking room intact.
If you’re lucky enough to have access to the
MAS Golden lounge (one world status etc.) there is a smoking room at
the back. Not a bad way to have a free drink and a smoke before
take-off.
There are two smoking areas on the Mezzanines Level (Level 2) of KLIA, one in the South Zone and the other in the North Zone. See map below.
Update from airport 27th April 2017:
We do have 2 smoking lounges at the Satellite Building at the Mezzanine Level towards Gate C11 and C30.
You may proceed to the smoking lounge once you have check-in and received the boarding pass. In order to get to the Satellite Building, you must take the aero train after the security check point.
Smoking is not permitted in the airport's premises. However, there are established designated smoking areas inside the airport.

KLIA2 - Domestic
Update from Ben, March 2020: No smoking area on the domestic side, but you can check in your luggage and walk right out the main door again, with viewpoints where smoking is allowed on either side of the building.
KLIA2 - Main Building
Udate from Glenn, October 2022: Followed Bens description and found it. Far left corner about 100 meters from the escalator. no Starbucks around anymore though.
Update from Ben, March 2020: There still is
a smoking area in KLIA2 after passing immigration at the moment.
It's very difficult to find though.
The best I can describe the location is: go to the satellite
building via the sky bridge, go 1 level down with the escalator,
walk straight on to the back and left corner, passing between the
starbucks (on your right) and some furniture store and charging
station (on your left). It's a bit around a corner to the left.
There is NO signage at all, but it's definitely there. It's hidden
so well that non-smoking airport staff do not know it exists or have
no idea where it could be found. It's technically on level 2, which
is confusingly 1 level down from when you enter the terminal between
P and Q gates (international).
