Chewing Tobacco Prices By State
Dip and Chewing tobacco prices vary per state (and city) and the cost is almost always a reflection on the state’s tobacco tax. And, as you know, the smokeless tobacco brand affects the chewing tobacco price.
We looked at all the different brands, shops, and locations and compiled a list of the average price of chewing tobacco by state. This is just intended to give you an average on the can cost you may see if you hit a gas station in any of these states on a road trip.

Rhode Island is $7/can out the door. Just bought there 7/2/21
I spent 3 months in Seattle back in 2008 and Skoal was 5-something a can. I had the wife bring some for me from Missouri when she flew out. It was in the low $3 range then. Now it’s around $6 here.
No it’s not. I live in Massachusetts. 11.50 a tin. That’s fucked up
Mass banned flavored a year or two ago. And certain towns tax it severely. $23 in one town, $14 in the next town over. Haven’t found any under $13.
Yup, Long Island NY about $8.50 for cope or grizz. Man it hurts coming from NC. It’s cheap down there! Crappy part is I’m entitled to shop on base, but there are no military bases near me. Tax free liquor and tobacco. Boy I miss my time in service

I’ve been a native of Glendale Az for 59 years, I started chewing in the 4th grade and only stop once in my life for one year 20 year on a bet. I enjoy chewing Copenhagen snuff and if they stop making snuff I would probably stop. I bought a can yesterday at a Quick trip fuel station and paid 8 dollars! I was going to stop when it got to 1 dollar but I didn’t, and I’m not going to stop now. I think Our government knows that we won’t and they are taken advantage of this with the taxpayers. We need help tobacco companies with a another Boston tea party with our own government.
South Carolina Copenhagen prices range from 5-5.50 a can
Almost 10 bucks a can and most of that’s is California tax

This is nuts. MA is eliminating virtually all Smokeless tobacco to be sold in the state on June1st. Not that I purchase Kodiak in MA . The cost is around $12.00 and $15.00 in the Boston area. CT isn’t any better. The cost is $9.25 a can. RI…. You can get lucky. I’ve purchased Kodiak recently for $6.75. NH, at the Market Basket is $7.25. The best place I found is over the boarder in PA ( Milford). Where you can buy it for like $5.25 a can. I will take a seven hour round trip and buy a 100 cans. Does anyone know the cost of chew in NC, KY? I am going on a trip this year
Less than $3 per can in KY
Dang, I only have Chawin tabaccy on hand to treat stinging insect hits; unknowst to me, sumbody threw my pouch of redman away & I got a sting from a hornet that did not respond well to being treated with cotton balls &sudsy ammonia. This is not a prank, chewin tabaccy can neutralize the venom from hornets & yellow jackets if moistened with human saliva & applied quickly to the wound site & lightly secured against the skin with a plastic bag to keep the moisture in the tabaccy.
Chewing tobacco is the best treatment for insect sings. Period.

47 bucks in Vancouver, BC, Canada (Copenhagen SNuff or Long Cut- 19 for a pack of Cigarette which is mind boggling the difference in taxes)- I’m originally from Georgia……so to go from 5 bucks to 47 is insane………I started chewin black jack gum on the side to go from 3 cans a day at times to 1 can every 5 to 6 days.

No no please no I’m moving up there for work and I dip Copenhagen mint like 6 cans a week ??
Moved from PA to FL. Prices up there were about half as much than down here. Use to think it was a lot more worth it because snuff in PA a lot cheaper than cigarettes, until I moved to FL. Getting hooked on this stuff used to seem like not a big deal, but now that I’m in FL, it almost seems like the cheaper of the states almost scams the user into staying there if they want the cheaper option. The reason for my comment was actually to find out if I could be given an explanation as to why?
It is the State Tax added to the manufactuer like US Tobacco (Cope/Skoal) brands are premium. Similar to smokes. Tubes or Rolls are usually cheaper if you find a Tobacco shop. Washington state $8.49
Copenhagen snuff is $6.75 a can in Dallas.
6.25 in N Houston, and 6.10 in New Mexico.

WOW! So far Ontario takes the cake for high dip prices.

$32 to 33 dollars for a can of cope or skoal in Regina,Sk if you buy it at Costco in Saskatoon its about $25.27 a can

Usually the cost of dip in a state is related to the tobacco taxes. The higher the tobacco tax, the more expensive the dip will be.

*Kodiak
I’ve been supporting their stockholders since summer of ’82.
In Ohio (Southern Ohio) it was 3.50 a year ago. It’s raised to 4.50 in the past year (for grizzly long cut)
(Boone, North Carolina) Depends brand and where you buy it from, 4 places where you can buy it from where i Live: gas stations, walmart, grocery stores and privately ran tobacco shops. I dip Copenhagen Wintergreen long cut it’s about $15 for 5 can roll (before state tax which is 6.76% to the dollar) sometimes you can buy singles at $2.50 a can. I used to dip Grizzly wintergreen long cut used to be the cheapest about 3 years ago (was $2-$2.50 a can even in rolls) but now Copenhagen wintergreen long cut is, out of the 2 anyways. Redman probably the cheapest along with long horn. Skoal wintergreen, straight and any them special flavors between $3.50-$5 a can. Still not sure why Copenhagen straight long cut costs about $4 a can. Copenhagen wintergreen pouches (packs i think they are called) is $3.50 a can. I’m thinking about switching to fine cut because I’d like to try it see if I like it, i don’t know the price of it yet. All these prices I’ve called out are from the privately ran tobacco stores, we have 3 with the same owner. His stores probably cheapest in my area, walmart probably 2nd then gas stations 3rd and grocery stores 4th. I feel fairly lucky compared rest of you guys. Now cigarettes is off the charts I quit smoking in 2015, switched to dip. Cigarettes prices are steep here, I was smoking cheapest brand i could find and stand smoking. $56 20 pack carton counting tax and even at the privately ran tobacco shops and that was 6 years ago, probably much higher now. Prices was the main reason I quit smoking then ofcoarse I had personal goals that helped me along like breathing better lol. Now I don’t chew but from what I heard from what my uncle said, most chewing tobacco is about $8-$12 a pouch here brand dependent. Starts costing me $4+ a can I’ll have to quit dip to because i live on $14,000 a year i have more important things to pay for.
$43.92for a tin cope straight. Vancouver island, bc, Canada. Thank you NDP
Hawaii is 6$ a can
Missouri is way off for Skoal. Walmart, which is usually the cheapest since Sams stop selling tobacco, is $5.80. QT is $6.30. Missouri used to be pretty cheap but the last few years it’s gone way up along with adding the health insurance surcharge the last couple of years.
January 27, 2022. You’ve got north central Illinois pretty dead-on from the last time I checked. I pay the price…I don’t count the cost!!!! The true sign of an addiction…right!?!?!?
Wisconsin 2022. $10.95 + tax. Uff Da
I quit 16 years ago when I had to be biopsied for esophageal cancer. Invested the money in reloading equipment . Biopsy was negative and I shoot regularly now !

Copenhagen in Jacksonville, FL is running $9 a tin. Absolute insanity…..
Hi Jeff, $9, wow! Thanks for sharing!
$8.00 a can of Copenhagen in Oklahoma. I remember giving 28 cents for a can. That was a long time ago in 1980. Now it’s 8 dollars a can.
Wow
Average for Grizzly in Nashville, TN is $4.15 to $5.15 a can depending on where you stop
Hi Gary, Wow.
i just paid 10.74 for a can of copenhagen long cut straight in carrabelle florida. i personally think they are price gouging because of fall break. this has got to stop
Hi Jeremiah, that is quite high!
Here in Massachusetts it’s $11-$12.50 for a can depending on where you go. Hence the nickname TAXachusetts. Luckily I live a couple miles from the Rhode Island border so I go there once a week and get a couple sleeves of grizzly for less than $6 a can. Gas, tobacco, property, income, excise, etc, etc all the taxes here are through the roof. Highest in the nation. And the governemnt services those taxes supposedly pay for are no better (usually worse) than any other state.
Hi There, That is insane prices. Everything everywhere has gone up.
I’ve been a native of Glendale Az for 59 years, I started chewing in the 4th grade and only stop once in my life for one year 20 year on a bet. I enjoy chewing Copenhagen snuff and if they stop making snuff I would probably stop. I bought a can yesterday at a Quick trip fuel station and paid 8 dollars! I was going to stop when it got to 1 dollar but I didn’t, and I’m not going to stop now. I think Our government knows that we won’t and they are taken advantage of this with the taxpayers. We need help tobacco companies with a another Boston tea party with our own government.
Copenhagen Long Cut 5 cans for $34 in Ohio. BTW, smokeless tobacco has twice the rate of mouth or throat cancer when compared to a non-smoker. The biggest health problem associated with it is the increase in heart rate. It’s a shame, it’s the only bad thing I like and it’s really not that bad. I don’t do drugs including marijuana, drink alcohol, nor eat fast food, yet the one pleasure that I love is scrutinized falsely by the government. It’s even illegal to fly on American airplanes with it in your mouth. I do because no one knows I am dipping. It’s my business, not anyone else’s.
Every year, when I visit my family in Kentucky, I order 25 five-can rolls of Mint Long-Cut Skoal to bring home to Michigan. This April I paid $650. It would have cost me $1,150 at best here at home. Those 125 cans usually get me through the year. When I started chewing, a ten -can roll was about $16 in Michigan, versus $8 in Kentucky. Hell, they used to be in the grocery aisle at Meijer back then. I remember playing floor hockey with them in the grocery store as a kid. WOW, how things have changed!
My Volusia Florida area jumped about a week ago from 39.95(w/6.5 tax) to ~48.50 for a roll of Copenhagen snuff. Thats now $9.7 a can with tax. I need to get out of the local area though and the thieving Circle K stores. It may well be that they took away the roll discount and are charging single can price x 5. They have tried pulling that before trying to ring up a single can x 5 instead of scanning the roll. Then again maybe it is time to quit after 43 years.
