Terminal 2A:

Update from ClaudeF, March 2022: The terminals 2A and 2C have been renovated and all the little smoking boxes seems to have disapeared, both the one next to Mc Donalds at 2C (confirmed) and the ones upstairs from A47.

But there is a much better option now. Airside 2A and 2C are now linked with a large duty-free shopping area. There you will find a nice large smoking terrace, it's 2/3 overed and 1/3 open air. There are seats and a bench, and even some plants. As it is outside the air is fresh. The smoking terrace is at the 2A end of the common area, just right of Starbucks and left od Burberry.

Terminal 2B:

Update from kyriacos, June 2022: Downstairs next to D58 gate there is a smoking place. It is open at the top (outside with glass surround) so there is fresh air and no smoke. Perfect when the weather is good.

Update from Grega, September 2021: Just wanted to let you know that there's a smoking area after passport control in 2B at CDG, in the far corner away from the passport booth, opposite gate B20.

A secured smoking area is located downstairs near gate 58.

An open-space smoking area is located on the ground-floor shortly before the lounge and passport controls.

The area is actually located on the aircraft parking area, with an open roof.

There is a larger indoor smoking area with some seating at gate L30. On the other side of the duty free shops, there are three very small, very narrow glass closets that hold about 8-10 people. The entry door is on one narrow side with the sole ashtray at the far end in all 3 of them. They are located at L42, L45, and L49. If you are leaving from one of the higher number gates, it is about a 10 minute to the larger room at L30.
