Is there a smoking room at Arlanda?
Where Swedavia says the smoking cabins are, who has priority and what the law says outside.
Short answer
Arlanda has smoking cabins airside, and a Swedavia notice from June 2026 names cabins at F5 in Terminal 5 and at gate 70 in Terminal 2. Swedavia says passengers always have priority in the cabins. Outside the terminals, smoking is banned at airport entrances and on the pavements, according to Swedavia. This topic is for adults aged 18 and over.
Why
- A Swedavia notice for Stockholm Arlanda says the smoking cabins are airside, in the transit area, and names cabins at F5 in Terminal 5 and at gate 70 in Terminal 2.
- The Swedavia notice says passengers always have priority in the cabins and that furniture such as chairs or stools is not allowed in them.
- The Public Health Agency of Sweden says the smoking ban applies at entrances to shops, authorities, hospitals and similar premises.
Details
Swedavia has said the law covers areas at and outside the airport and that smoking is allowed only in marked spaces, such as smoking cabins and signed sidewalk areas. For the wider rules, see whether smoking is allowed on outdoor terraces in Sweden and Arlanda and its alternatives.
Tip
Outside the terminals, smoke only in a marked area, because Swedavia says the ban covers airport entrances and pavements.
What may differ
The Swedavia notice is addressed to staff and lists two cabins open to everyone, so other cabins may exist. The notice runs from 15 June 2026 to 1 February 2027, so the cabin locations may change.
Common misconception
You can smoke just outside the terminal doors.
What actually happens
Swedavia has said the 2019 law bans smoking at airport entrances, on pavements and where people board buses, and allows it only in marked spaces.
