Snus in Hawaii?

[CzechCzar]

Hi guys,

I am going to be vacationing in Hawaii and have been growing increasingly worried that they will not allow me onto the island with my snus. Agricultural restrictions are tight, and I do not want my snus to get confiscated when I go through the agricultural inspection xray once I get there.

Do any of you know whether snus is allowed on the Islands? Will the agricultural people give me crap about my snus? I would hate to have to go out and buy some camel snus...

There are no FAA or TSA regulations on bringing tobacco (smokeless or otherwise) on flights. As long as you're not bringing live tobacco plants with you, you should be fine. If they question it, simply tell them it's smokeless tobacco for personal consumption.

Some pineapple and mango snus should do well in Hawai :-)

I've brought snus to Hawaii, no problems. Definitely keep it in the fridge though... high humidity makes for funky snus. Like Seattleite said, they are worried about plants and animals, not tobacco for consumption. It's not as though you could dump your can of snus in the dirt and grow a tobacco plant

Don't tell that to the native Hawaiians!

The residents of the state of Hawaii and the territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) consume the most Spam per capita in the United States. On average, each person on Guam consumes 16 tins of Spam each year and the numbers at least equal this in the CNMI. Guam, Hawaii, and Saipan, the CNMI's principal island, have the only McDonald's restaurants that feature Spam on the menu. In Hawaii, Burger King began serving Spam in 2007 on its menu to compete with the local McDonald's chains. In Hawaii, Spam is so popular it is sometimes referred to as "The Hawaiian Steak". One popular Spam dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, where cooked Spam is combined with rice and nori seaweed and classified as onigiri.

Spam was introduced into the aforementioned areas, in addition to other islands in the Pacific such as Okinawa and the Philippine Islands, during the U.S. military occupation after World War II. Since fresh meat was difficult to get to the soldiers on the front, World War II saw the largest use of Spam. G.I. started eating Spam for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Some soldiers referred to Spam as "ham that didn't pass its physical" and "meatloaf without basic training".) Army soldiers commonly refer to SPAM as Special Army Meat due to its introduction during the war. Surpluses of Spam from the soldiers' supplies made their way into native diets. Consequently, Spam is a unique part of the history and effects of U.S. influence in the Pacific.

to be honest, being a programmer and into marketing for years now, I've seen that can maybe thousands of times, but I though it was a JOKE \

LMAO

Yep. It comes in other flavors too:

The original and bacon flavor taste pretty good with eggs. I haven't tried the Hot and Spicy yet, but it sounds good (made with Tabasco sauce).

I think this is available in US only.

The jalapeno sounds good.
