Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS)

Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS) in Maiquetia, Venezuela serves as the main international gateway to Caracas. No verified, current information about designated smoking areas at CCS was available in the sources provided for this entry, which covered Miami International Airport (MIA) rather than CCS. The policy details below are based on general knowledge and should be treated with caution.

Before Security

Venezuela does not have a comprehensive nationwide indoor smoking ban equivalent to those in North America or the EU, so landside smoking rules at CCS may be more permissive than at comparable airports. However, specific designated outdoor or landside smoking zones at CCS have not been confirmed by any source reviewed here.

• No specific landside smoking spots could be verified from the available sources.

• Travelers should look for signage near terminal entrances or ask airport staff on arrival.

After Security

No confirmed airside smoking rooms or lounges at CCS were identified in the sources provided. Some international airports in Latin America maintain small designated smoking areas past security, but whether CCS currently does is unconfirmed.

• No paid lounges with confirmed smoking access at CCS could be named from these sources.

• If you need to smoke after clearing immigration or security, check with airport staff at the gate area.

Vaping Rules

Vaping regulations in Venezuelan airports are not documented in the available sources. Treat vaping the same as cigarette smoking until you can confirm local rules on arrival.

Transit and Layovers

CCS handles a mix of domestic and international traffic. Transit passengers should be aware that re-entering the secure zone after stepping outside may require additional screening, though specific procedures at CCS were not confirmed here.

Bottom Line

The sources provided describe Miami Airport (MIA), not CCS, so treat all smoking details here as low-confidence estimates. Check with airport staff on arrival for the most current designated smoking locations.
