Smoking Areas at Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE)

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) keeps its terminal smoke-free, banning cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping in Concourses A, B, C, and all indoor spaces. Ohio law also bars smoking within 25 feet of entrances/exits for clean air.

Where to Smoke:

• Outdoor Spots: Find smoking zones outside, past the 25-foot boundary, near baggage claim and pick-up/drop-off on arrivals/departures levels. A prime spot is by Door 1, near baggage carousel 1, marked with “Smoking Area” signs and ashtrays.

No Indoor Options: CLE has no smoking lounges, staying true to Ohio’s clean air rules.

• Re-Entry: Smoking outside means re-clearing TSA security; allow 15-20 minutes.
• Fines: Smoking in restricted areas starts at $25 fines, with bigger penalties for repeats.
• Stay Tidy: Use ashtrays to keep CLE welcoming.

CLE offers easy-access smoking zones while prioritizing a fresh terminal. Thanks for following the rules. Safe travels!
