How Many Cigarettes Are You Allowed To Bring On A Plane

Can a minor bring cigarettes on a plane?

It is perfectly legal to have cigarettes in your checked luggage. No one doing the security checks will care at all. It is also legal in carry on bags, but in that situation, the person looking at the x-ray image of your bag will also have an idea of how old you are. Though they are not tasked with enforcing state tobacco laws, you never know what might happen.

If your parents do not smoke, then they probably already know that you do. I do not smoke and I can tell people who do smoke from 10 feet away, just passing them on the sidewalk. It's the <>. It is very obvious to those of us who do not indulge in that vice, and it is everywhere on you and on you clothes and anything else that is near you when you are smoking.

Are cigarettes allowed on planes?

Yes, cigarettes are allowed in either carry on or checked baggage.
One (1) standard disposable or Zippo type lighter is also permitted in <> luggage (do not put it into checked baggage - it will be confiscated).

It is, of course, illegal to smoke on an airplane, but there is _no law_ that prevents you from carrying cigarettes with you. They are legal, and they are in no way a threat to the plane.

Can I bring cigarettes on a plane?

Actually all checked baggage get screened either through x-ray or by hand. The main purpose is to look for explosives.

As for cigarettes, it is no problem either as carry-on or checked baggage.

A BIC or Zippo lighter you can bring it aboard as carry-on. It isn't allowed in checked baggage unless it is packed in a special Department of Transportation approved container.

Verbatim from TSA.gov:

Search Results For: Bic lighter

Carry On Only

TSA does not prohibit standard lighters in carry-on or checked baggage. Torch and micro-lighters are prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage.

For safety reasons, however, the Department of Transportation (DOT) restricts the number of standard lighters (disposable, Zippo, non-torch lighters) in the cabin of the aircraft to one per passenger. Passengers are limited to two fueled lighters in checked baggage, and only if properly packaged pursuant to DOT approved packaging requirements.

Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane.

Can you carry cigarettes on the air plane?

yes you can. i do this all the time, i usually travel with 2 cartons of cigarettes on a longer trip and I put that in my checked baggage, and I keep a pack of cigarettes in my carry on. You can also bring a regular lighter with you (i.e. BIC lighter) on a plane but only in your carry on it is not allowed in your checked baggage. Here is the link to the TSA website for prohibited items and you will see that lighters are allowed since 2007 in your carry on. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p...

How many cartons of cigarettes can I take on a plane?

A friend and myself are flying from Houston Texas, to Seattle Washington and driving on a road trip back to Texas with a friend. And cigarettes are so expensive in Washington, and we're not sure how expensive in other states. So we figured for the road trip I would have a carton, and both friends would have a carton. So my question is, if I buy three cartons of cigarettes down here in Texas will I be able to take all three with me on the plane? Or would I have to split them up between me and the friend? And can I buy them at my local gas station and take them on the plane? Or is there a place in the airport I can buy three cartons?
