About one in five professional footballers who took part in a new survey are using snus, nicotine pouches or both.
Almost one in five male professional players who took part in a new survey are using snus, nicotine pouches or both - and nearly half would like to stop using snus within 12 months.The report suggests the actual usage figures are "likely" to be higher because players may not want to disclose they use snus even in an anonymous survey, which was the first research on its specific use in football.
Nearly half of the men indicated a desire to quit using snus in the next year, but just 9% in the WSL.Snus is a tobacco product in a sachet, similar to a small tea bag, which is placed under the lip and releases nicotine into the bloodstream. Of the 84 men and 11 women who replied as to whether they had experienced certain effects, 56% and 36% respectively said snus had helped them relax.
Nearly two-thirds of the male respondents in the survey said they sourced snus products from a shop while just over half the women purchased them online.
