T1, Area B, Level 2:

Update from Michael S, August 2022: I'm currently enjoying a great place to smoke at FRA, they have a really nice terrace where smoking is allowed at the B Gates area. it might get a bit hot in the afternoon. Just follow the signs for the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, it's just a few meters away. Showers and relax area are pretty close too. Bring your coffee / beer / .... as the only restaurant at the same level is currently out of operations and you have to go down again to buy anything.

Update from Walt, Dec 2019: It is possible to get to the area A without passport control or leaving the sterile zone by following signs saying "Connecting flights". It takes about 10 minutes to get between areas and 5 more to get from the entrance to A to Camel Smoking lounge.

Important update from Vivienne B on the 22nd Aug 2018: T1, Area B, Level 3, near Gate B4 - This smoking area is no longer there. It shows on the FRA map still. If you are leaving from gates B1-B9 there is nowhere to smoke as it is a Schengen departure area and the smoking cabins in B are after passport control.
