Nicotine gum HK Airport

Question

Hello, does anyone know if Watsons or Mannings stock nicotine gum for sale airside at Hong Kong Airport? Getting conflicting information regarding bringing it with me. Will remain airside in transit to Cambodia before returning to stay in Hong Kong for a few days.

Thanks

Answer

Hong Kong International Airport has several retail outlets airside, including Watsons and Mannings, which are well-known convenience and pharmacy chains. They typically stock a variety of health-related products, including nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine gum.

Here’s what you should know:

Watsons airside shops at Hong Kong Airport usually carry nicotine gum in different strengths, though stock may vary depending on the branch and current demand.
Mannings airside outlets also often carry nicotine gum, but again availability can be limited, so it’s advisable to check early or ask at the store counter.
Prices at airport shops tend to be slightly higher than in the city, but you can purchase without going through immigration if you remain airside.

If you are in transit and will not leave the airport, you can buy nicotine gum at these shops without any customs issues. However, if you plan to enter Hong Kong later on your trip, you can also purchase nicotine gum in city branches of Watsons or Mannings, which usually offer a wider selection.

Additional tips:

Check the store opening hours: some airside stores may close during late-night hours.
If you are concerned about availability, you could consider bringing a small supply with you, as there are generally no strict restrictions for personal use amounts of nicotine gum in Hong Kong.

In summary, you should be able to buy nicotine gum airside at Hong Kong Airport from either Watsons or Mannings, but stock may vary, so it’s best to check upon arrival or bring a small amount just in case.
