I've never heard of anyone going to jail, let alone being deported. Nonsense. Half the answers on here are just folks trying to increase their points. Idiots.

Even if you do spit, I'd be surprised if anyone noticed. You see foreign nationals and arabs spitting and snot-rocketing all the time. You'll be fine.

I've never seen it but then again I've never looked. I do know it's available on the U.S. bases.

no it is not available...but u can bring it with u if it is JUST tobacco and not betel nut...iam sure you would understand what i am saying...betel nut is considered a narcotic and jail time and or deportation is the result

Good luck

PS..I need to stress the dangers of using chewing tobacco as a leading cause of oral cancer

LOL.... It would be nice to get real information. I don't 'spit' at all. People are usually surprised to learn that I use it at all. Can anyone answer honestly ?

Maybe, but spitting in public costs QR 500!

No, it is considered illegal and if caught chewing, you will be deported.
