Smoking Areas – George Bush Airport (IAH)

is a smoke-free facility indoors, prohibiting cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping in all terminal areas, including gates, restrooms, and dining zones, per city ordinance. Texas law also bans smoking within 25 feet of terminal entrances/exits to maintain clean air.

Designated outdoor smoking areas are available at least 25 feet from exits, across all terminals (A, B, C, D, E), typically near curbside pick-up/drop-off zones.

Key locations include:

• Terminal A: Level 1, north side, near Door A-113 (Private Cars Pick-Up).
• Terminal B: Level 1, south side, near Taxi Pick-Up.
• Terminal C: Level 1, south side, near Door C-105 (Shuttles/Buses Pick-Up).
• Terminal D: Departures level, left side, near a small coffeeshop.
• Terminal E: Near Door E-101 (post-customs for arrivals; note: construction may affect access).

Essentials:

• Re-Entry: Exiting to smoke requires TSA re-screening; allow 15-20 minutes.
• Fines: Smoking in non-designated areas incurs fines starting at $25, with higher penalties for repeats.
• Cleanliness: Use ashtrays to keep IAH neat.
• IAH provides accessible smoking zones while ensuring a smoke-free terminal.

Thank you for complying. Safe travels
