Bringing nicotine tablets into Thailand (legal or illegal?)

[jamesmacleod]

I am about to embark on a month long visit to Thailand (flight leaves in 8.5 hours time) and I have bought in Boots (UK chemist) £300 worth of nicotine tablets! I have seen nicotine tablets for sale in Thailand before but I wondered if there were any restrictions when bringing them into Thailand?

 

They are for personal use, ANY IDEAS?

 

Many Thanks TV!

I can only say that I have travelled all over the world (incl TH) with nic lozenges and have never had a problem. Even had some mailed into China once because they did not sell them. Package opened by customs but let through.

I am not sure how many tablets this represents.  Thailand is very protective of it's home industry including it's tobacco market which is probably why they don't allow E-cigs or middle-eastern Shishka smoking.  Small quantities of anything (not obviously a class drug) will almost certainly be un-noticed even if they do X-ray your bags on arrival.  I do a "home trip" at least once every year and bring back all sorts of health supplement stuff, including caffeine tablets and even largish bottles of fish oil capsules.    Large quantities of one sort of pill that "might" be for sale or supply might look suspicious, but sensible minimum amounts just for your trip should be fine.  You have to understand how hypocritical this all seems when you can buy all sorts of nominally "illegal" stuff on street stalls right next to a police posts, or with police strolling by, as I have seen so many times, so no advice can be 100% bulletproof.

And 7/Eleven sells cigarettes and liquor, but that doesn't mean you can bring unlimited quantities with you when you enter Thailand.
