What You'll Learn
Smoking before security
Since March 1, 2018, Denver International Airport has been 100% smoke-free indoors. However, there are designated smoking areas within the airport premises, where smokers can comfortably smoke before security.
If you are flying United, you will likely be on the B concourse. There is an Aviator smoking lounge there—take the escalators up to the B concourse (there is a one-drink minimum). There is also a lounge outside security on the upper level (baggage check level) before you go down to security. If you choose to go through security, you won't be able to take your lighter with you, but matches are available in the bar/smoking lounge.
It is worth noting that Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the nation, with thousands of travellers passing through each day. As such, the airport's decision to go smoke-free indoors is a popular one with the public, protecting the health of both travellers and workers.

Concourse C smoking area
As of March 1, 2018, Denver International Airport is 100% smoke-free indoors. However, there are designated outdoor smoking areas at the airport where you can smoke.
Denver International Airport (DEN) has three concourses: A, B, and C. Previously, there was one large indoor smoking lounge located in Concourse C. However, with the new smoke-free policy, smoking is no longer permitted inside Concourse C.
To smoke, you will need to go to one of the designated outdoor smoking areas located outside the Jeppesen Terminal, which is the main building for check-in, security, and access to the trains to the concourses. The DEN Plaza, an outdoor space between the terminal and the Westin Hotel, also has smoking areas.
It is important to note that there are no smoking areas inside Concourse C or any other concourse, and you will need to exit the secure area to access the designated outdoor smoking areas. Please allow enough time to return to the terminal and pass through security again if you leave the gate area to smoke.
Additionally, while marijuana is legal in Colorado for adults 21 and older, it is illegal to consume it in public places, including Denver International Airport.
