Chewing Tobacco - Kashrut
Question
Does chewing tobacco require kosher certification?
Answer
Hello,
Tobacco itself does not require kosher certification, but chewing tobacco usually contains flavoring agents, and since they enter the mouth in a manner similar to eating, it should be kosher.
[Unlike regular cigarettes where the tobacco is inhaled].
