Are you a regular nicotine pouch or snus user? Do you have travel plans coming up? If so, you may be wondering: Can I take my nicotine pouches on a plane?
The good news is that yes, you can take them on board with you! However, there are a few important things you need to know before you travel, and a few important rules to keep in mind. By following these rules, your journey will be smooth, hassle-free and compliant with airline regulations.
Here’s everything you need to know about travelling with nicotine pouches on a plane.
Can you take nicotine pouches on a plane?
For the time-being, the answer to this question is yes. You can take both nicotine pouches and snus on planes, and in some cases (depending on the airline in question), use them. Why? Because authorities don’t classify these smokeless products as tobacco in the same way they classify cigarettes or vapes.
What’s more, they don’t contain liquid or batteries, and therefore don’t pose the same fire hazard. Because they don’t require any lighting or batteries, they are much less restricted.
That being said, it’s a good idea to check the regulations of your departure and arrival countries. Also, check with the individual airline you are using to be sure there are no import restrictions or bans in place. This is because the rules around nicotine products can vary in each country and on different airlines, especially outside of the EU or UK.
Here’s what you need to remember
- If necessary, declare: Most countries won’t require declaration for small amounts of nicotine. However, some may have specific limits or customs rules. For example, in Australia, they’re banned from sale by retail outlets, and can only be used with a prescription.
- Use your pouches discreetly and respectfully: Always be mindful of those around you. Although nicotine pouches are discreet and smoke-free, not everyone will be familiar with them. Also, be sure to dispose of them responsibly after use.

- Pack smart: Carry your pouches in their original, sealed containers. This will help to ensure a smooth process at security checks. If you’re travelling with several cans, we recommend keeping them in your checked bags.
- Keep a few in your hand luggage: Carry a small number of pouches in your carry-on bag. This way, you can stay comfortable during your flight without having to open your suitcase mid-journey.
- Be mindful of climate: Some nicotine pouches and snus products can be sensitive to heat and moisture. Check the storage instructions carefully before you depart. Also, consider a small, resealable plastic pouch or airtight container to keep them as fresh as possible.
