White snus: why ‘tobacco free’ doesn’t mean risk free

English football players have been using white snus, a tobacco-free nicotine product, to enhance performance. While this trend is popularized through social media influencers, its health effects remain unclear. Marketed as a clean alternative to smoking, white snus is misleadingly labeled as tobacco-free when it contains nicotine derived from tobacco leaves. Despite claims of being a healthier nicotine option, its risks are not thoroughly studied. Young people are especially vulnerable to nicotine addiction and potential negative impacts on health, including brain development. Little independent research exists on white snus, emphasizing the need for further investigation into its long-term health implications.
