I used to be on it my self, it’s interesting for sure. Just a nicotine buzz really though and burns your lip. Have to say I’m happier without it, can get addictive fast and end up flying through boxes.
Finally someone decided to talk about it after so long! Last year while I was in the U19's, I witnessed my entire team using it during and after training, trading it and stuff like that, leaving it on the pitch and in the bins.
I think it’s just a release that has the least impact on fitness. Like imagine living most your life completely sober I don’t blame players using snus as an outlet
Really appreciate all of you! I am going to clip that first part and show my Son who is 11 and in grassroots in Scotland. He is massive, plays midfield and defence/midfield, scores, assists, has an insane penalty scoring record and was considering chucking it in a few years back. I always show him clips from your podcasts with ex footballer guests and your tips. They help a lot! Also other clips like the Dan Burn story and not giving up. Glad my lad kept going, he is no where near his peak (as a youth) and is always learning and improving- he proper loves challenges man. Anyways, nuff respect and Thank you for all the Good you, your team and guests do man! BOOM!!!!
Where does your lad play? My lad is 10, plays at a top Scottish team. I find that keeping the level of enjoyment coupled with the hard work seems to work...ie we were asked not to allow him to have a kick about with his pals....I said no. Firmly believe he’ll progress if it’s seen as a hobby...not a chore. I’m sure you get what I mean.
@@82DC I don't actually think you read my comment? As you answered angrily in response and stated points that I never made? What are you on about with contracts dude? And Forced goalies? Sorry its like that where you are man. Maybe the teams where you are need a better coaching system? Or better coaches or something? I was just pointing out in my comment that my lad wanted to quit a few years ago after some horrid results etc, I showed him some of Bens vids, Dan Burn vids and he kept going and now he is loving it. That's all. Hopefully you and your team get enjoyment out of playing football again soon.

Soon, the effect of snus wears off. You become adjusted to it, and then go up to a higher dose to get some more effect from it. Eventually, you've been using the 4 strengths and finally decide you need to come off it. But the four-strength snus (One snus = same as full pack of cigarettes in nicotine value) is so addictive and powerful that it will be almost impossible to withstand the withdrawals. If you are going to try snus, start at a One strength and do not bypass the two strengths.
The game is far too tactical and nuanced now for players to reach the top level from a grassroots pedigree. The amount of positional and tactical work done from a young age puts any player going in from grassroots at a massive disadvantage vs those who have been schooled in academies. Elite coaching demands players take onboard more information that ever before, academy bred players are used to this and so are able to implement what is demanded from coaches. There is a reason why the number of grassroots bred players playing at an elite level is so low as much as we fantasise about building 'real men' from grassroots. Food for thought
Spot on mate. Was just about to post something similar. My fave era growing up was mid 80s to mid 90s when a mercurial genius but sometime passengers could be accommodated to an extent. Not a chance of that at elite level now. The margins are so slim that any weakness in the system will be identified quickly and picked apart in no time. These elite academy lads are virtually machines. The pressing in packs, covering, positioning etc is so ingrained. There’s also the conditioning aspect, if they don’t get that in the critical formative years, as an academy outsider it’s a helluva task to catch that up. Then there’s the nutritional and recovery stuff as well. Ok I’ll stop now … 😩😂
Snus originates from the Swedish ragger- culture. People that loves wearing jeans jackets and drive around in Cadillacs and Volvo's and other classes cars listening to Eddie Meduza and drink all night
I visited Sweden during my summer holidays in the early 2000s. I was 16 at the time when I would see my cousin and friends put snus inside their upper lip. I asked to try some (we're all the same/similar age btw) and they all shut me down. One even said he woild fight me, mad
I know nicotine, makes you feel Concentration and Mood so the player is probs more engaged with the game and maybe the mood boost gives them the confidence which I'm guessing them helps with whatever postilion they play and like in the clip snus decreases anger and stress, relaxes muscles and reduces appetite so probs it probably is a benefit on match days and training
My two boys are at a academy in Scotland at the minute and the aggression and tempo in the training is fantastic. It's definitely not mollycoddled like is mentioned here they kick lumps out each other every session, you have to break a bone to get a free kick haha. It isvery old school with the odd bit of video analysis thrown in.

My Swedish ass is ordering 50 cans of the good stuff every 8 weeks to my new home in the US,I've been "snusing" since 1983-ish.......This is hilarious 😂😂😂 It's just nicotine brothers,but without lung cancer ❤
Was just thinking the same mate. Ears to the ground here lads?! 😂 We had a Swedish contingent at Celtic from late 90s and it was an open secret they were open, esp big Dolph Mjallby. Then it caught on with the local lads in squad as well. Another addictive vice to contend with in Glasgow 👀😂
Just to clarify. There’s snus and there’s Nicotine Pouches. Main difference is that snus has loose tobacco in the pouch where nicotine pouches (modern oral) doesn’t have any tobacco inside. The overall category is in the rise in the UK and Europe in domestic consumption also
I live in a council flat it isn’t free please show me a free home 😂😂😂 my rent has s 300 a month yes undercutting private massively but no private landlord is getting my 600 1000 1500 a month for a shitnew build tiny box
As bad as it is I would rather these athletes use something they can hide so that kids don't see that shit. I am for sure addicted to it but I would never want to influence another into taking it, even by accident
Academies have convinced most that their coaches are better and that you have to play against academy level players to “challenge “ yourself. It protects their financial options and controls player decisions when they show they are good enough.
Coming from the ice hockey world - this has been in use for decades. Seems like rest of sports and more countries are catching on. They now have a lot of tobacco free snus as well.
Might be as well to stick on some nicotine patches, but better still , get them into functional mushrooms at an early age (and no, I don’t mean ‘Magic mushrooms’ I mean lions mane, reishi, turkey tail, chaga etc.- ergothionine & other unique nutrients) - and really good coffee.
Bit late here I know =) I'm Swedish and have been using it since grade 6 here (I'm 43 now), used to do both that and smoke but after quiute a few years I couldn't afford to keep up doing both so had to choose and it was easy, gave up smoking instantly =) But yes, it's very addictive and I use 10+ "cans" per week (they cost around 30 pounds each here) so it can get quite expensive
I didn't think any performance enhancing drugs were allowed.. and snus is definitely an addictive substance and performance enhancing.. now...I guarantee, the fact you three just admitted that this is being used by 50% of all football players ...it will go even more mainstream....then what, it will be said that it is o.k. to use it, but only if you are a professional athlete. That's not right.
@@Sigma1_969 It's nicontine, it's not performance enchancing. Better ban caffine and alcohol as well then since those substances can giva a similar respons
@@emilevangheem6165 because I’m “in the industry” myself you fool 🤦♂️🤷🏼♂️ They are professionals. Don’t get me wrong there are probably 1 maybe 2 players at pro clubs who use snuss.

They are the only clubs I can personally speak on. But yeah he’s chatting absolute shit claiming 50% or higher
The start of this video I don’t agree with, players who haven’t had that academy experience never make it to these professional clubs if they’re over 18, once u hit 18 it don’t matter how good you are if u don’t know anyone at an academy you’re not making it as a pro
Jamie Vardy. Ivan Toney. Callum Wilson. Chris Smalling. Joe Hart. Jarrod Bowen. Danny Ings. Ashley Barnes. Troy Deeney. Yannick Bolasie. List goes on. All not from academies and a lot played as men in non league.
@@WatchMagicHappen yeah but have they had any academy experience? And if they haven’t they were playing national league level which kinda proves my point as they were all young when they were picked up from that level, Jamie vardy was 22 or something I think so you’re right with him
Nicotine isn’t harmful to you and is on the same level as caffeine, also doesn’t hurt your lungs the way smoking does. Top level athletes go through a great deal of stress so anything that takes the edge off doesn’t seem so bad to me.

I was addicted too strong snus but got off it by moving too cocaine
I heard heroin will get you off your cocaine addiction 👍
Proud of you g

Is it not nicotine?
Snus comes from Sweden and is definitely addictive. Not advisable, especially for young players
Yeah I’ve got a mate who can’t go an hour without it
I used to be on it my self, it’s interesting for sure. Just a nicotine buzz really though and burns your lip. Have to say I’m happier without it, can get addictive fast and end up flying through boxes.

Vardy also smokes like a madman
Like any addictive things, only weak-minded people use snus for a quick fix which actually doesn't make a positive difference to performances.
I’m a 30 year old American and I remember buddies using snus during class in high school so they wouldn’t get caught with a spitter
Snus originates from the Swedish ragger- culture. People that loves wearing jeans jackets and drive around in Cadillacs and Volvo's and other classes cars listening to Eddie Meduza and drink all night
I’m here for the snus review
Love the pod, I do have to say though it’s a nicotine pod not a tobacco pod, just need to be clear on that 😂
I used to take snuz until I heard it’s linked to mouth cancer
I visited Sweden during my summer holidays in the early 2000s. I was 16 at the time when I would see my cousin and friends put snus inside their upper lip. I asked to try some (we're all the same/similar age btw) and they all shut me down. One even said he woild fight me, mad
Snus is most certainly addictive, contains many chemicals and increases the risk of cancer considerably.
but what most players who use it use is white snus aka nicotine pouches. No tobacco in them. Just powdered nicotine in a pouch.
My son has been scouted at 5, I am a bit worried now
Snus use has been linked with heart conditions plus oral disease and decreases physical performance that's what old google says 😂
The Lads need screening for ADHD, classic self medication tactics this.
I know nicotine, makes you feel Concentration and Mood so the player is probs more engaged with the game and maybe the mood boost gives them the confidence which I'm guessing them helps with whatever postilion they play and like in the clip snus decreases anger and stress, relaxes muscles and reduces appetite so probs it probably is a benefit on match days and training
Nicotine is a performance enhancer. Cyclists like it as well IIRC. EPO and nicotine, baby... And then lemme raid this cafe for espresso...
Not all snus are ‘tobacco pouches’ it’s a nicotine pouch. Most common ones, especially those used by pros, all tobacco free
I had a friend who played semi pro for fc United of Manchester and he always carried snus round everywhere
Ben needs to make a video one day making his signature dish from when he was a chef
My two boys are at a academy in Scotland at the minute and the aggression and tempo in the training is fantastic.

It’s a Swedish thing. I work with an Icelandic guy who has Icelandic version and it’s a lot stronger and harsher. Most people puke on first try
As a snus user for 10+years, I had no idea it was so common in football!
Best i ever played was with 2 siberias under my lip 🤣🤣 so they arent going anywhere now
You're a Menace 🤣
Never understood the people who could play with it in 🤣 was always the best after a match for me
As a swede it is almost hilarious to see the moral panic around snus
I think no more of it than cigarettes, both are fucking disgusting and anyone using either is an idiot.
"Brief exposure to Swedish snus causes divergent vascular responses in healthy male and female volunteers".
