Healthy Footballers are Using Unhealthy and Dangerous Snus Tobacco Pouches

I found this unbelievable when i read it, one in five footballers are using snus, the tobacco pouches you place under your top lip

Ok, you are not smoking , which is a good thing , but it seems it can still be addictive and healthy footballers are the last people i would expect to use it

There are two types, one is nicotine based while the other is tobacco based

And it is not risk free, the experts say using it you can still be perceptive to oesophagus and pancreatic cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Not only that scientists have also linked the pouches to mouth lesions and oral cancers

And the PFA said a growing number of players were using snus with some receiving help for addiction

It is said one reason players often use these products is to relax and manage stress

I can think of more stressful jobs and careers than playing football with less rewards
