Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Smoking policy at Tuzla, Tuzla Airport (TZL)
Warnings & Caveats
Lit cigarettes are explicitly listed as prohibited objects in the restricted airside area. Smoking anywhere other than the three designated outdoor landside spots is not permitted. The restricted area has been under strict access control since December 2011, and violations may result in removal by aviation security personnel.
Tuzla Airport (TZL) is a small general aviation and regional airport operated by Regional Air Services in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Smoking is only permitted in officially designated outdoor areas on the landside of the airport. There are no smoking rooms or lounges inside the terminal building, and the airside restricted zone explicitly prohibits open flames, including lit cigarettes.
Before Security
Smoking is allowed landside, but only in the specific spots the airport has approved:
In front of Administrative Building A (the main administrative structure near the entrance)
In front of Administrative Building C (a secondary administrative building on the property)
In the dining area (the terrace and dining zone, which has free public access)
These are all outdoor or semi-outdoor spots on the public side of the airport. You can reach the dining/terrace area freely without any special access. The administrative building areas are accessible during normal working hours (8:00 to 16:00).
After Security
Smoking is not permitted in the restricted airside area. The airport's own security regulations explicitly list "open flame (lit cigarettes, etc.)" among the substances and objects prohibited in the restricted zone. Once you pass the security barrier into the airside, hangar, taxiway, or aircraft areas, there is no legal place to smoke. There are no airside smoking rooms, lounges, or terraces at this airport.
Vaping Rules
The airport's published regulations do not specifically mention e-cigarettes or vaping devices. Given that the rules ban open flames and restrict smoking to designated outdoor areas only, it is safest to treat vaping the same as cigarette smoking and use it only in the approved landside outdoor spots.
Transit and Layovers
Tuzla Airport handles a limited number of scheduled and charter flights. If you have a layover and need to smoke, you would need to exit the secure zone to reach the designated outdoor areas. There is no information available about re-entry procedures, so check with airport staff before exiting if you have a connecting flight.
Bottom Line
Smoke before you go through security, at the outdoor spots in front of Buildings A or C or in the dining terrace area. Once airside, there is nowhere to smoke.
