The Surge in Snus and Nicotine Pouch Usage Among Footballers
Football has always been a sport under the spotlight, not just for the extraordinary feats on the field but also for the lifestyles of those who play it. Recent findings have brought to light a surprising trend among professional footballers: the use of snus and nicotine pouches. According to a study commissioned by the Professional Footballers' Association, an astounding two out of five footballers have experimented with these products at least once.
Snus, an oral tobacco product made of ground tobacco and sometimes flavored, is placed between the upper lip and gums, releasing nicotine into the bloodstream. Despite being illegal for sale in the UK due to its tobacco content, snus has found a niche among footballers. On the other hand, tobacco-free nicotine pouches remain legal and are also widely used. The ease of availability and peer influence have significantly contributed to this trend.
High-Profile Users and Their Influence
Notably, high-profile players like Manchester United's Victor Lindelof and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy have publicly acknowledged their use of these products. Their openness has sparked discussions within the football community and beyond about the reasons and repercussions of using such products.
