Can I Bring Chewing Tobacco on a Plane?
Understanding TSA Regulations
Navigating airport security with chewing tobacco can be confusing. While the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) permits smokeless tobacco products in checked luggage, there are specific guidelines to adhere to.
Checked Luggage
- Chewing tobacco must be in its original packaging or a clear, sealable plastic bag.
- The total net weight of smokeless tobacco products cannot exceed 70 ounces (2 kg).
Carry-On Luggage
- Chewing tobacco is prohibited in carry-on luggage.
Additional Considerations
- TSA officers may inspect your chewing tobacco at the security checkpoint.
- Declare any smokeless tobacco products in your checked luggage to TSA personnel.
- Be aware that some airlines may have stricter policies regarding chewing tobacco.
| Item | Checked Luggage | Carry-On Luggage |
|---|---|---|
| Chewing tobacco | Allowed (within limits) | Prohibited |
| Packaging | Original or clear plastic bag | N/A |
| Net weight | Up to 70 ounces (2 kg) | N/A |
