Buon Ma Thuot Airport (BMV)

Buon Ma Thuot Airport (BMV) is a small domestic airport in Vietnam's Central Highlands, managed by the Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV). Vietnam's national smoking law bans smoking in enclosed indoor spaces and public facilities, so any smoking at BMV is restricted to designated outdoor areas only. No specific smoking room or lounge information has been documented for this airport in available sources.

Before Security

Vietnam's tobacco control legislation prohibits smoking inside airport terminals. At a small domestic airport like BMV, with a single terminal of roughly 7,000 square meters, you should look for any designated outdoor smoking zones near the terminal entrance or exterior before you enter the building. No specific named or mapped smoking spot has been reported for BMV by travelers or official sources, but outdoor areas at the building perimeter are the most likely place where smoking is tolerated.

• Check near the main entrance or drop-off area outside the terminal for any marked smoking zone.

• Smoking bans in Vietnam are frequently noted as inconsistently enforced, but you should still look for official signage before lighting up.

After Security

No airside smoking facilities have been documented at Buon Ma Thuot Airport. The terminal is small and handles domestic flights only, with no paid lounges or dedicated smoking rooms reported past the security checkpoint. Assume there is nowhere to smoke once you clear security.

Vaping Rules

Vietnam has a national ban on e-cigarettes and vaping products. Do not bring vaping devices or e-liquids into Vietnam. Customs enforcement of this ban is active.

Bottom Line

If you need to smoke, do it outside the terminal before you enter and go through security. Once airside, there are no known options, so plan accordingly before your flight.
