Can You Take Cigarettes With You On An Airplane In Carry On? What About Packing Them In Your Suitcase?



TSA does not regulate cigarettes in checked or handcarried. But, they do prohibit lighters, in both. I fly every 3 months, and I’ll take 2 books of matches; one handcarried, one checked. This gets me to where I’m going , and can get another lighter.

  1. yes you can, you just have to make sure you dont exceed to quota for the country you’re in or travelling to, most places ive been to allow up to 2 cartons of ciggarettes, it doesnt matter if its in hand luggage or suitcase as long as you dont exceed the total amount

  2. yes

  3. Yes, but no lighters.

  4. Yes. In fact, if you buy them at the duty free shop, they take your flight info down. Later, the duty free people give you the duty free merchandise you just purchased (including cigarettes) on the jetbridge as you’re boarding the plane.
    You just can’t have anything to light the cigarettes and you can’t smoke on the aircraft.
