• Snus consumption can cause mouth or throat cancer, heart issues, diabetes, slowed muscular injury recovery, reduced sleep quality, gum damage, and mental health disorders.
• Snus is estimated to be 90% less harmful than smoking, but each pouch contains a substantially higher amount of nicotine than a cigarette.
• While it is illegal to sell snus in the UK and European Union outside Sweden, it remains legal to consume and does not violate anti-doping rules.
• Many professional football players use snus to calm nerves before games, but prolonged use leads to nicotine addiction and diminished effects.
