Smoking Areas at Atlantic City Airport (ACY)

Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) enforces a strict no-smoking policy inside the terminal, prohibiting cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping devices in all indoor areas, including gates, restrooms, and dining spaces. New Jersey law also bans smoking within 25 feet of terminal entrances/exits to ensure clean air around access points.

Where to Smoke:

• Outdoor Zones: Designated smoking areas are located outside the terminal, beyond the 25-foot boundary, near curbside pick-up and drop-off areas on the arrivals and departures levels. Look for “Smoking Area” signs, with ashtrays provided for proper disposal. A key spot is near the baggage claim exit on the lower level.
• Exiting to smoke requires TSA re-screening to return to secure areas; allow 15-20 minutes.
• Smoking in non-designated areas or within 25 feet of entrances may result in fines starting at $50, with higher penalties for repeat violations, per local regulations.
• Use ashtrays to keep ACY’s outdoor areas neat.

ACY’s single terminal has no indoor smoking lounges, aligning with its compact, traveler-friendly design.

ACY balances accessibility for smokers with a smoke-free terminal environment. Thank you for respecting our policies. Safe travels!
