Where To Buy Snus in Da Nang in 2025?

 "Where to buy snus in Da Nang?" 

Vietnam can be an amazing place to travel: bustling city life of big cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh (or Saigon), Da Nang, Nha Trang, beautiful nature, amazing & cheap food, and accommodating people! Sounds like a perfect recipe for an amazing vacation. However, not being able to bring our snus supply through customs in Vietnam due to the limit can be a vacation-killer. When browsing through supermarkets, specialized tobacco shops in Da Nang, there doesn't seem to be any snus. 

We at SnusLAB have been in your shoes. That’s why we’ve created this updated 2025 guide to help you navigate the snus desert that is Da Nang — and show you the one reliable way to get your fix.

Introduction

After looking for places that sell snus in Da Nang, we have concluded this list of places below. We asked customers who lived in these places for common places they would get their snus from, and rank them from the "Most Convenient" to "Least likely to find".

Places with the potential to sell snus in Da Nang:

• Tobacco stores 
• Convenience stores
• Gas station
• Duty-free shops
• Pharmacies
• Vape stores
• Online retailers

🟡 Tobacco stores

While tobacco stores in Da Nang carry a wide range of products — cigarettes, vapes, cigars, thuốc lào, and accessories — none of them carry snus or nicotine pouches. Most shopkeepers we spoke with hadn’t even heard of snus.

There is one Japanese specialty store that sells Japanese chewing tobacco, but at a premium. Unfortunately, this is the exception, not the rule. Snus simply isn’t on the radar for most shops in Vietnam.

🔴 Convenience stores

From mom-and-pop stalls to WinMart, convenience stores in Da Nang consistently do not stock snus or nicotine pouches. Tobacco offerings are typically limited to cigarettes, thuốc lào, and the occasional vape. Local demand just isn’t there — yet.

🔴 Gas stations

Unlike gas stations in the U.S or Europe, gas stations in Da Nang do not offer any extra products than gas. We have found exceptions to this on highway gas stations, where they would have everything from bathrooms, food courts, tea area, kids area to private dining rooms, and meeting rooms. Snus in gas stations in Da Nang are often a rare sights, more often or not they do not have them. Therefore, finding snus in gas stations in Da Nang is not possible.

🔴 Duty-free shops

We checked five duty-free shops at Da Nang International Airport. All said the same thing: they used to stock snus before 2020, but no longer do due to lack of demand. Since few Vietnamese know about snus, there’s no incentive for duty-free stores to restock. This could also be the result of the nationwide vapes & iQos ban that went into effect earlier this year.

🔴 Pharmacies 

There were no snus or nicotine pouches in the smaller pharmacies. However, we found American made nicotine patches that sticks on to your skin at a bigger pharmacies chain. This could be an alternative to snus or nicotine pouches, but this lack the common flavor that comes with snus which can be a different experience. Despite this, imported American made nicotine patches usually fetches upwards of 1.000.000 VND for a pack.

🔴 Vape stores

Ironically, vape shops are the closest thing to an alternative nicotine market here. But again — they’ve never heard of snus or nicotine pouches. And with the 2025 vape and IQOS ban now in effect, many vape stores are either shutting down or switching products. This leaves a major gap in the market that snus could fill — but still hasn’t.

🟠 Online retailers 

Established snus brands such as VELO, LYFT, ZYN, Siberia currently do not offer shipment to Vietnam as of the writing of this article. Therefore, the best bet to buy from their websites is through neighboring Asian countries such as Japan, Thailand, Pakistan, and have someone take it for you — but that’s a gamble.

Why is it so hard to find snus in Vietnam?

We have explored this specific question in our previous post "Where to find snus in Vietnam?", and we found these where the most common reasons: 

• Strict regulations regarding snus
• Society attitude
• Low demand
• Insufficient knowledge 

These factors, along with the absence of major brands, make getting snus in Vietnam more difficult.
