Yes, at Norwich Airport you can smoke only in the smoking shelter in front of the terminal.
Before security
The airport states that its public spaces have been smoke-free since 1 July 2007 and that the only place you are permitted to smoke is the smoking shelter in front of the terminal. That shelter is outside, on the landside forecourt, before check-in and security. The airport does not give opening times.
After security
The airport names no smoking area after security, so there is nowhere to smoke once you have passed through the search. Leaving the secure area means going back through security.

Vaping and heated tobacco
The airport says smoking electronic cigarettes is prohibited within the terminal building. It does not say whether vaping is allowed in the shelter, so check the signs or ask staff. Vapes and e-cigarettes must travel in carry-on hand luggage, not in the hold.
Connecting flights
Norwich is a small regional airport with a single terminal building, so most passengers start their journey here. If you arrive on a connection, there is no airside smoking spot to use between flights.
Tips
Smoke before you go through security if you have time, as there is no second chance afterwards. Keep your lighter for screening: only one is allowed per person and it must be screened or placed in your liquids bag.
