Smoking Policy at Boston Logan Airport
Boston Logan Airport follows Massachusetts public health codes with a complete ban on indoor smoking. All indoor smoking lounges were eliminated years ago.

Terminal C Smoking Areas
Pre-security curbside areas are available on both arrivals and departures levels. No specific gate-designated smoking zones are assigned - simply use the outdoor curbside areas.
Terminal E - No Designated Areas
There are no designated smoking areas at Terminal E. If you need to smoke while using Terminal E, you’ll need to travel to Terminal C and use the smoking areas there.
Important Information
All designated smoking areas are located before security checkpoints - there are no smoking facilities past TSA screening. If you need to smoke after clearing security, you’ll have to exit the secure area and go through security again.
Massachusetts law (General Law Chapter 270) strictly regulates smoking. Violations can result in fines and removal from the premises. The law also prohibits tobacco sales to anyone under 21.
