Smoking area at Beijing Capital Airport

1. Yes, you need to go outside. Passengers are not allowed to smoke inside the terminal building.
2. What is your flight route? If you are eligible for 24-hour visa-free transit, you don't need a visa.
3. Since you only has 3 layovers, it is not suggested to go outside to smoke in case of missing your flight.

Thank you

Hi, you don't need a visa since you are eligible for the 24-hour free visa transit. 3 hours are enough for you to smoke for a while.
