Snuff in New Zealand

I’m planning on spending a semester abroad in New Zealand here soon, and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of tobacco laws, and especially laws concerning snuff, are in place in New Zealand. I know there’s a smoking ban on beach fronts and all public and government buildings, but what kind of laws concerning smokeless tobacco like snuff? Thanks in advance.

Seems your OK with nasal snuff:- Oral Snuff is illegal in New Zealand but nasal snuff can be sold to the over 18’s. Have a nice trip.

My daughter bought some WoS and bullets there last year. The NZ government did a study on snuff and gave it their blessing.

Hey Roderick, Do you know if it’s possible to order different brands over the internet there and have them shipped in, or do you have to cart it in with your luggage only?

Sweet! Thanks everyone who answered! I’m more excited about my trip now than ever. :slight_smile: This is going to be more like vacation than work.

Up! My order for Straubinger has been retained at the customs. Since December the exception allowed as gift for personal use has been cancelled and we have a massive tax to pay for importing. I didn’t go further to find any information on the topic, but are there some kiwis here? Some way to find anything else than Wilsons of Sharrow on this island? My last pouch is running empty and I’m scared…
