I'd like to order some chewing tobacco from the states. Am I going to get thrown in the slammer for less than 9 oz?
Nobody carries it here.
What is the deal?

Had a look around, difficult to find info on shipping tobacco to Thailand most places are about the personal limits for travelers. You are legally allowed to import - if you have a licence - which would be a big deal to get.
According to this site, tobacco is a restricted import item:

So -yes, you could very well have big problems if you tried to just ship some in.
Previously, a guy I ran into at Tesco was able to ship by mail (chewing tobacco for personal use) It was 8 oz, and at some point I found a website that indicated it was above board so long as the weight was less than 9 oz (250grams.) and that it is not for resale.
The package had clearly marked what the contents were (Smokeless Chewing Tobacco) and arrived as normal.
I just was uncertain if it was something that "slipped" through or if it was allowed in with the good blessing of the Thai authorities.
I am a visitor here and don't want to ruffle any feathers.
I hope this helps? https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/604...o-in-thailand/

Yeah, whether something makes it through can be pretty random.
The combination of 'through the books' and 'off the books' pilfering means your chances aren't good.
I have used this site for many years, never been an issue, they ship in small packages. https://www.buysnus.com
Why on earth would anyone wish to chew tobacco.
I suppose it goes along with eating chitterlings, hanging nigras and shagging sisters.
