Can You Take Snus on a Plane?

• Nicotine pouches are typically allowed in hand and checked luggage. 
• Usage onboard may be fine – check airline rules. 
• Always check local laws before travelling. 

Nicotine pouches and snus can go in either – but here’s a quick breakdown: 

• Carry-on: No need to separate snus like liquids.  
• Hold luggage: Also permitted in your checked-in bag. Keep the snus in its original packaging. 

Tip: Store your cans in a cool, dry part of your bag to help maintain freshness during travel. 

The rules vary depending on your destination. While tobacco-free snus is legal in the UK, not all countries have the same rules. 

Before you travel: Check official customs websites or government advisories. Some countries may allow nicotine pouches, but only for medical reasons (e.g., Australia). 

Typically, you can use nicotine pouches and snus on a plane, but it’s always best to check with your airline first. Nicotine pouches are smokeless, odourless, and tobacco-free, which may meet onboard requirements depending on the airline. 

However, always be respectful of airline policies: 

• Some airlines may restrict all tobacco and nicotine use onboard. 
• If you’re unsure, ask a flight attendant or check the airline’s website. 
• If permitted, products should be used discreetly and disposed of in a bin or the built-in compartment of the can. 

Most major UK airlines don’t list nicotine pouches in their no-smoking policies. However, US airlines like American Airlines, Delta, and United have banned smokeless tobacco use, which includes tobacco snus. 

There’s no fixed limit for personal use on most airlines, but here’s what to consider: 

• Carrying up to 10 cans (approximately 250g) is considered acceptable for personal use in many countries, though this may vary. 
• Large quantities may be flagged at customs. 
• In some destinations (like Australia or the US), you must declare tobacco or nicotine products at customs. 
• If travelling for several weeks, consider buying extra cans at your destination (if legal). 

Tip: Keep products in original packaging to avoid confusion or delay at border checks.
