Smoking Areas at Nashville Airport (BNA)

Nashville International Airport (BNA) enforces a smoke-free interior, banning cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping across all terminal spaces, including gates, eateries, and restrooms. Tennessee regulations further prohibit smoking within 25 feet of terminal entrances/exits to ensure fresh air.

Where to Smoke:

• Outdoor Zones: Find designated smoking spots outside the terminal on all levels (ticketing, baggage claim, ground transport), past the 25-foot boundary. Bright “Smoking Area” signs guide the way.

• Indoor Option: The Travelers Post Smoking Lounge on Concourse B (near gates B8-B10) is a ventilated haven for cigars, cigarettes, or vaping. A $10 entry fee includes free coffee/snacks, with a bar for additional purchases. Veterans/active military enter free with ID. Open daily, 7:00 AM–7:30 PM.

Essentials:

• Re-Entry: Using outdoor smoking areas requires TSA re-screening; plan for 15-20 minutes.
• Penalties: Smoking in unauthorized areas triggers fines from $50, escalating for repeat violations.
• Keep It Neat: Use ashtrays outdoors and follow lounge guidelines to maintain BNA’s charm.

The former Graycliff Lounges (Concourse B near B10, Concourse C near C10) are permanently closed since 2022.

The Travelers Post Lounge stands out for its cozy ambiance, clean ventilation, and welcoming staff, offering a rare indoor smoking experience.

BNA harmonizes Music City’s vibe with clean air priorities, providing outdoor smoking zones and a unique indoor lounge. Thank you for honoring our rules. Safe travels!
