Airport Rating
Before and After Security Smoking
Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminals.
Before Security, New Airport:
On arrival to Istanbul Airport you can't use
the smoking terraces and you can only smoke outside the terminal after
baggage claim.
After Security, New Airport:
Update from Mike F. on the 7th June 2019: Istanbul has many smoking areas called Teras They are at junction of C, D and E and in F, B and D at the far end of each. Very busy by business lounges quieter elsewhere.
Update from Adam P. 20th May 2019: There’s an outdoor smoking
terrace on domestic side on the left about 50m after passing
Starbucks opposite the tobacco shop.The terrace to the left of E1
for international flights

Update from Tom T., on the 8th May 2019: The Istanbul Atatürk Airport is closed for good, as all traffic (as well as the airport code IST) was transferred to Istanbul New Airport on April 6.
The new airport (called just Istanbul Airport
or Istanbul New Airport) has covered smoking terraces all over the
departure area (airside, after security). There is a smoking terrace
in every wing A to F, maximum 6-8 minutes walk from any gate
(as well as in the area between the wings). Just follow the TERRACE
signs (there is no word SMOKING written on them, but they are
terraces designed for smokers, where you can also drink your coffee
or beer taken from cafeteria or shop).
Great solution for smokers, compared to the
old Atatürk Airport - 9/10.
On landside, you can smoke outside the
airport building before entering the terminal - and on airside
(after security) on any of those terraces.
