Halifax, CanadaSmoking policy at Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ)
Warnings & Caveats
Smoking is not allowed inside the terminal. Cannabis use is prohibited on all airport property, including the areas outside the terminal designated for tobacco smoking, according to the airport.
You cannot smoke inside Halifax Stanfield; the airport has designated tobacco smoking areas outside the terminal building.
Before security
Halifax Stanfield's own cannabis page refers to the areas outside the terminal building designated for tobacco smoking, so smoking is only possible outdoors. The airport does not publish where they are. A 2019 arbitration decision reported by HR Reporter describes one smoking area across from the main passenger entrance; the layout may have changed since, so look for signs outside the doors.
After security
No smoking area is listed past security. To smoke you must leave the secure area and clear screening again.

Connecting flights
Smoking means leaving the secure area, so a short connection leaves little time to do it. The airport does not say whether you can re-enter without going through screening again.
