Before and After Security Smoking

Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminal.

After Security Smoking

Update from John P, Dec 2021: Krakow's smoking cabinet is now even smaller and can only hold 4 people with a really tight squeeze (opposite gate 2 now).

Update from Patryk H, August 2021: Smoking cabinet by the gate 18 no longer there. No smoking area for gate 12-18 if u pass second border security.

Official Information from Airport, August 2021: Tak, palarnia jest otwarta, ale może w niej przebywać tylko jedna osoba. (Yes, the smoking room is open, but only one person is allowed in it.)

Below information maybe out of date, updates appreciated.

Update from John P., Jan 2020: Krakow airport has a small smoking cubicle by gate 1 in the main terminal. It only holds about 10 and is a bit heavy on the smoke in there but better than nothing. There is also one at gate 18 too.
