Is there a smoking area for people on connecting flights

Try NicGum, or best yet, quit. I'm not being sarcastic or mean. More and more places are not even allowing ECigs Bkuzov the lithium batteries.

Hi Mary, CLT is a 100% smoke-free airport. However, smokers can smoke outside, 100 feet away from the terminal.

No, only outside security. You will have to go back through, allow 1 hour or more if you do. Holiday travel, security lines could be longer.

You must exit security and go outside the terminal to find a designated smoking area.

NO UNFORTUNATELY NOT UNLESS YOU GO OUT WHEN YOU ARRIVE AND CUE UP AGAIN FOR SECURITY CHECK.
