After Security Smoking

Update from Stephan, December 2022: In the Transfer Terminal near Gate B7 is an outdoor smoking area close to the coffee shop.

Update from Andy from London, February 2022: Here’s the current situation; all smoking areas are closed due to Covid 19. Even out on the concourse drop off. You can still buy duty free tobacco products - enjoy.

Update from Péter S., Nov 2019: Taiwan TSA Airport has a smoking area next to gate 4R. Just not indicated around the airport (so called Outdoor Rest Area where you can smoke) 🙂 cheers!

Further Information

Official Website

Taipei International Airport generally refers to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), the primary gateway to Taipei and the busiest airport in Taiwan. Located in Dayuan District about 40 km west of central Taipei, it handles the vast majority of the region’s international traffic and serves as a major hub for China Airlines, EVA Air, Starlux Airlines, and FedEx Express. Opened in 1979 as Chiang Kai‑shek International Airport and renamed in 2006, it features two large passenger terminals—both modern, well‑equipped, and connected by a free Skytrain—along with extensive dining, shopping, and transit options. The airport is known for efficient transport links, including the Airport MRT, which reaches Taipei Main Station in as little as 35 minutes.
