Smoking Areas – Charlotte Douglas Airport (CLT)

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) maintains a smoke-free interior, prohibiting cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping in all terminal areas, including concourses, eateries, and restrooms. North Carolina law also bans smoking within 25 feet of terminal entrances/exits to keep air clean.

Designated outdoor smoking zones are located past the 25-foot boundary, near curbside pick-up/drop-off areas, with a key spot by the Hourly Parking Deck on the arrivals level. Signs mark these areas, equipped with ashtrays.

• Re-entering requires TSA screening; plan for 15-20 minutes.
• Fines start at $50 for smoking in restricted areas, with higher penalties for repeats.
• Use ashtrays to keep CLT tidy.

CLT ensures a fresh terminal while offering accessible smoking zones. Thank you for complying. Safe travels!
