Air Travel Rules for Snus
Most airlines permit snus in both carry-on and checked baggage. Unlike cigarettes or vapes, these smokeless products don't have restrictions on in-flight use since they don't produce smoke or vapor.
Key Considerations
- Storage: No special requirements - keep cans sealed
- Usage: Can be used discreetly during flight
- Disposal: Use can lid compartment or trash for used pouches
Why Snus Travels Well
Compared to other nicotine products, snus offers advantages for travelers:
- No batteries or liquids to declare
- No odor that might bother other passengers
- Compact size fits easily in pockets or bags
