Tir Dhondy investigates the rising popularity of nicotine pouches in the UK, to find out if they are really as harmless as they appear.
The number of adult pouch users has tripled in the last four years. Delivering a powerful hit of nicotine via the gums, these pouches, often called Snus, can contain up to ten times as much nicotine as a cigarette, are highly addictive, and can legally be bought by children. And Tir quickly discovers that an illegal, more harmful tobacco version is being bought and sold on the high street too. With exclusive access to the Professional Footballers’ Association’s first ever study into pouch use in the sport, Tir reveals the scale of the habit and the impact it is having on players.

You thought the tobacco cartels would just roll over and die?
This has been a product in European nations for decades.
We roll up and die
Who’s watching this with a snus in?
I am lol Velo freeze ultra 😂
Lol reminded me to put the tobacco Siberia one in haha
Nah smoking a rolly😂
nicotine lozenge
Snus is completely different…
Had a Nordic Spirit advert while watching. Ahhh the irony.
Heheh
I got a link to "try a sample" 😆😆😆
It's not irony, it's how the algorithm works. Most people would have gotten the same ad.
They changed cigarette packaging so kids don't smoke but made vapes colourful af and now so many kids vape too
It is like the corporations are barely controlled.
Alcohol is sold in a wide array of colourful containers with interesting shapes and in many strengths, mixed with caffeine even, cheap and easy to obtain! Alcohol is a highly addictive drug with no health benefits, a class-1 carcinogen that damages every organ in the body and may be a factor in way more deaths than we may know, it causes cancer of the mouth, throat and pancreas (like snus) and also of the liver, kidneys, colon, skin and others. It also causes cirrhosis of the liver, liver failure, brain damage, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke, heat attack attack and more. It is involved in many accidents caused by risk taking it stupidity facilitated by the drug and increases violent behaviour. We are creating a moral panic about nicotine, but we overlook alcohol because it is part of our "culture" but I cannot think of a more horrible drug than alcohol (and I've tried a lot of drugs) there is nothing less cultured to me than a drunk person!
All statements in this film can be applied to alcohol. Just like when other drugs are discussed. For comparisons with illegal drugs and the standards around nicotine products, alcohol is the low hanging fruit ripe for comparison, it is a dangerous, addictive, hard drug that it nation is too insisted with, c it is easily accessible by minors, most users started before 18, comes in more flavours than e-juice, brightly colours bottles of candy flavoured gin in heart shaped bottles and everything. If snus is such a huge issue, alcohol is a bigger one! Of all the drugs I've tried, alcohol causes the most harm, even as an ex-heroin addict, and heroin was more pleasant than alcohol, the drug that doesn't even really feel that great, especially for all the damage it directly causes to your health (more than heroin would were it legal for sure) I'm not demonstrating those who drink, why demonize users of other drugs though if you accept the stupid and reckless consumption of another hard drug is part of our culture (culture must be pretty shit if using the world most dangerous drug is what constitutes culture!)
I gave up smoking easily when I realised that giving my money to a company which was trying to kill me was really stupid.
This is literally what I did. I woke up one morning and just stopped haha
I gave up cold turkey, but it was far from easy. I saw a woman passing my house smoking a cigarette, and I was convinced she was doing it purely to annoy me.
Bet you still drink coca cola and eat sweets too...
It's the ones that want to keep you alive (and addicted) that are really toxic.
Throw in the realisation it ****ing stinks and makes you feel awful.
It's got me off smoking and vaping and my lungs are much cleaner. No longer out of breath walking up stairs or coughing at night.
same they are class
gums turned white yet?
Me too bro
shows like this act as both awareness raising and free advertising.
yeah they didn't really say there were any bad side effects apart from the under 18 footballer passing out which could have been due to a multitude to reasons lol
I wonder how many ppl that didnt know about try it just from this video
@@jacobizm what? They covered: mental health, addiction, multiple types of cancer, heart disease, heart attacks, and the tachycardia the footballer had.
@@jaylewis2315literally me😂🚭🤣
They're only strong nicotine gums, they're loads better than a pack of tabs. They've sensationalised it a bit, making out like they're worse than a bag of smack.
Trust 🤣🤣🤣
Lol I know fucking fools.I hare this generation
I MUST LIVE UNDER A ROCK BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE TODAY 😂😂
Same
Same (and as an ex smoker)
We're getting old and are not invited to the youth club
@wobuzhidaoification I'm a current smoker and never heard of them 30 mins ago.
These things personally helped me stop smoking after 10 years and i feel like i got my life back. Now the habit of smoking is gone weening myself off these is so much easier
I didn’t know anything about it til I watched this. Think I might try some now
As an ex-smoker these pouches have absolutely saved me. Maybe they should only be perscribed but yeah, snus is great
you're in denial mate, you're still an addict hooked on harmful shit
Agreed, i was a heavy smoker about x20 a day, costing a fortune & killing me. These pouches have literally cured my addiction to tobacco. Totally recommend them to anyone who wants to quit smoking
@@crispy_T Uh, it hasn't cured your addiction to anything. It's just replaced it with something else.
I mean you're still taking nicotine. Which increases your stroke risk etc... youre still an addict ...
agreed, still addicted to nicotine but much less harmful (still not great I know), cheaper, and I can breathe again. Snus 100%
I think that it is safe to say personal accountability is completely vacant in today’s society.
bergamott is a small green citrus fruit and they use the oil in earl grey
I love bergamot limes
Tea, Earl Grey. Hot.
Bergamot is a nice essential oil like lemongrass... Orange...
Popped an upper decky while watching. Big tobacco needs to try harder
quick upper decky w the boys
Shout out to that legend with 4 upper and lower deckies
@@FightingForAnimals.Ponduepack them gums 😂
Been using nicotine pouches for 2 years they helped me quit vaping which I used to to quit smoking… the point is in my opinion they are a safer alternative to smoking and vaping so don’t ruin it for us the ones who use them as intended
you've simply moved from one addiction to another, your health is still being seriously affected no matter what nicotine product you use. Nicotine has drastic affect's on the nervous system, it causes various type of heart disease as well as narrowing of the arteries and it also causes liver failure after extended use.
These are quite good for discreet or handsfree stimulation. Eg the football, or driving, at work etc
over pricing cigarettes of course people are going to find other cheaper ways
I remember going to Boardmasters festival in Newquay a few years ago and they were giving these snus pouches out for free to anyone that signed up by email, they had a big advert stand in the centre of the festival. I just remember thinking how unethical it was in fact i spoke to the worker, i didnt berate him as he was just doibg his job but I just said that it would be very wrong to be giving out marlboro cigarettes for free in the middle of a festival to advertise marlboro, because in reality there is very little difference in it, morally.
my dad told me about when he was in HS marlboro and camel stands were up in his HS, i think some were sign something and get a carton of cigs. dad was already a smoker by then but still lol
there’s a massive difference 😭smoking kills you in a number of ways, these are addictive but aren’t bad for ur health expect gum recession. it’s more on par with advertising haribos
I am an ex smoker and a lot healthier now. No need to take these stupid things.
Thanks for letting me know I could get free samples you fools
When I decided to use nicotine pouches, I thought I wouldn't smoke cigarettes and would consume less nicotine. But now it's been a year, and I am using nicotine pouches even in places where I couldn't smoke cigarettes before. I had a peaceful life with just cigarettes, but since I started using these pouches, my life has been ruined. My focus is gone, I get angry a lot, I am very sleepy, and I don't feel like doing anything. Believe me, a year ago, when I didn't use these, I was not like this at all. I am completely ruined now.
I’ve got a Nordic Spirit pouch under my top lip right now. I can’t even tell if they’re addictive or not, but they definitely aren’t as bad as vaping.
Isn’t caffeine a stimulant
Loved these.
the influencer is full of bs " i wanted the nicotine hit without ever smoking" you don't even know what it feels like unless you smoked or done something else to give you it you never had it you don't know what your missing and then expecting it to be easy to quit when shes litterly taking more nicotine than just smoking would and wondering why her withdrawals are extreme. Why is she shocked the smoking companies are the ones that are running the pouches ? they are litterly tobacco companies its so obvious the guys with tobacco would make another product with it. If she really wanted to see how hard it was to quit why didnt she quit her own smoking and document it?
This video will trigger all the Swedes
hopefully they dont go into cardiac arrest
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines are the primary cause of cancer in tobacco. Real Swedish snus tobacco isn't fire-cured and is pasteurised, meaning the risk of getting cancer from it is relatively low compared to other forms of smokeless tobacco.
I used the pouches to quit smoking, made it very easy. I used the pouches to break the habit of having something to hold then after around 3 week of being on the 3mg pouches (lowest u can get) I just stopped. couldn't of been easier and I was terrified it was going to impossible.
I’m using them to help curb vaping and so I can use them in the office, on a train or other public transport. I only use 6mg which is less then the 10mg vape juice I use as well.
don't make excuses, just stop. excuses will get you absolutely nowhere
If you were going to use two pouches at once while still smoking and do it more times a day than reasonable, I am sorry, but I don't see how you wouldn't chew two pieces of gum (or lozenges, oral or nasal spray or use way too many patches) a day and continue smoking, nicotine is nicotine. Doesn't matter if it's snus or him, it is the same dog being absorbed in the same way. Flavour is only part of the equation, might help for smokers but him non smokers. But hey, I can buy the world finest and most addictive stuff, alcohol, in a wide array of flavours and strengths in almost an my store, even mixed with caffeine, and nobody goes mad about that! Do you know how big of a problem alcohol is in the his country? Why is it that we allow "responsible" adults to choose from as many flavours of alcohol as there are soft drinks, but snus is evil? You know what else causes oral cancer? Alcohol! Liver damage, high blood pressure, kidney damage, brain damage, vitamin deficiency, heat attack, stroke, pancreatitis, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, death by stupidity. Alcohol is easily worse than snus, and underage drinking was extremely common when I was at school, it was easy to obtain (so were other drugs for that matter) a girl in my biology class feel and caused extensive injuries to her face. We are a nation addicted to alcohol, yet it is advertised everywhere and widely glamorized in the media, pushed as essential to any social occasion or holiday as if being drink is in any way fun when you analyse the experience objectively, why not do away with all alcohol that tastes of anything other than alcohol? Make drinking less appealing? But no, alcohol gets a free pass, the real problem is me smoking a joint or buying some and custard flavoured e-huice or berry flavoured snus because kids can obtain it, apparently obtaining alcohol is an acceptable risk. Massive double standard!
A bit like me quitting smoking heroin & then popping Vicodin & Percs all day....problem solved lol
😂🤦🏻♂️ well it’s a step in the right direction! All the best to you, stranger from the internet!
More like taking kratom instead of heroin
People literally do this ever heard of methadone or subetex
Yet you still smoke cigarettes? Sounds like an ad for big tobacco.
Literally thats probs what it is
It’s pronounced “snoos”. And it’s really difficult to know how much of it is actually being absorbed into the bloodstream. Plus your gums will disintegrate, if you don’t get cancer first.
These are the only things that have properly got me to quit smoking
For the people who don't develop dependency, nicotine is a superdrug. Tobacco is carcinogenic, and so cigarettes are bad - Nicotine is not a carcinogen. Who's paying for this propaganda?
Real snus from Sweden is made from tobacco however the way they cure is. by pasteurisation. They steam cure the tobacco. This removes the nitrosamines the nasty chemicala that cause cancer. Swedish Snus highly regulated and is 95% safer than smoking yet it is banned outside of Sweden. The idea of snus was stolen and nicotine pouches were invented to get around the Snus prohibition. Nic pouches are a poor imitation of Snus.
Nicotine has catastrophic effects on the nervous system and liver, it also causes multiple different types of heart disease and narrows the arteries.
This information is widely known and should not be surprising, there are no health benefits of nicotine
What am i underaatnding cigs and nicotine pouhes are legal in the u.k. ? But yet not Copenhagen or skol ?
I used to smoke, then i vaped. Took me ages to give up smoking and took me to some dark places trying to do so. However giving up vaping for me was even harder. Eventually i managed it, i still occasionally crave it but as times gone by ive learned that giving in to the cravings would be way worse than just dealing with them mentally.
I used to smoke or vape to destress etc but once you quit ive realised that the vaping or smoking was the reason why things felt stressful.
For those trying to give up, stick with it. The first few weeks are the worst. Getting back to the gym for me really helped me kick the habit.
Hey, well done for quitting! 🎉
Nicotine addiction sucks. I gave up cigarettes, gave up vaping, but now I'm spending about £50 a month on nicotine lozenges!!!!
You are known to capitalists as a cash cow
Just go cold turkey man, its 3 days of pain for a lifetime of gain - love from an ex pack a day smoker.
😂😂😂😂 oh lord
@@TomNook. I am🤣😅😭
@@internetoldie I'm trying it right now. Sick of throwing money down the toilet!!!
My younger 18 yrs old self, thinking "were do I get hold of these products!?" beats smoking
Apparently smoking 10 cigs at once is lethal because the nicotine peak is too high - it drops rapidly, hence when chain-smoking one after the other it gets the chance to drop. Be so careful please, your heart only has so many beats ❤️🙏💯
Spearmint nordic spirit. Love it.
best flavour
Spearmint only way to go. Sold out everywhere around me though 😂😂
I have been thinking about trying snus as a way to manage stress. I don’t smoke or anything but sometimes I’m really stressed and I know it (nicotine) exists as an option. So I am tempted to smoke or something. But I’ve avoided it thus far.
Now I’m thinking about these as a safe alternative.
But the professor is saying there’s an association between stopping nicotine and improved mental health.
So I don’t know if I want to find out.
Most people would take up drinking alcohol in my position. But I don’t drink and my parents are both alcoholics. So I tend to assume something genetic will make me an alcoholic too if I drink “socially”
Becoming an addict is not a smart choice as a hobby. The high is not worth the low. Just as with alcohol. Get into a sport or archeology, history, anything like that works much better as a stress relief.
In short- DONT.
Nicotine is toxic
Absolutely agree with the comment above. Addiction is no joke.
Wouldn't recommend it. It'll cause an imbalance. You'll end up with cravings when it wears off, as in a "dip" in mood. If you already have mental health difficulties you'll probably want to avoid I as you'll feel low in mood once it wears off.
Nicotine won’t do anything to help you manage stress. Kind of crazy that you think it will? You’d be best off trying some exercise x
Don`t be silly, why pick up a nicotine habit/addiction if you don`t have one. If you were to replace cigarettes with pouches then it would make sense.
Where’s the documentary cussing caffeine like redbull or monster then?😂 going on like it’s crack or something 🤣🤣🤣
My mates mum used to get these in from Sweden regularly when I was about 14/15. Tho they were great they were never a substitute for cigarettes. We just used to use them when we were in scenarios where we couldn't smoke, mainly school lol. We could never understand why they were banned. Anyways I've since cut out nicotine completely, don't vape/ smoke or use snus, so I wasn't really looking out for nicotine products but you can imagine my surprise when I started to see these little circular pots being displayed in the corner shops on my high street lol. Didn't tempt me tho, feeling bad for all the kids to whom this is now readily available, popular and just another thing to fuck up their health. But we all kinda gotta do it and learn from our mistakes unfortunately :/
4 cigarettes a day, hardly a problem statistically speaking.
Woah never heard of this. So glad I managed to quit smoking 5 years ago. Was the hardest thing I have ever done though.
Same. Took me two years to not feel my life was over 😁 never again
This girl is a smoker and she's slating snus and nic pouches, the irony.
Yeah ... Eeehh nicotine pouches smell like wintergreen... Hey cigs smell so bad
I use it strictly for studying and lucid dreaming. Have some self control.
This documentary is incredibly misleading.
The presenter keeps referring to snus as the synthetic nicotine pouches that are not linked to cancer & do not contain tobacco but snus is the tobacco version, the synthetic version is just a nicotine pouch that if taken in moderation has many health benefits including increased focus, alertness & & motivation due to the nicotine causing & increase in dopamine.
Not entirely true. Nicotine binds to haemoglobin, therefore it decreases oxygenation, leading to poor wound healing and reduced cellular health. It also raises blood pressure, which puts extra load on the heart, and increases the risk of heamorrhagic stroke.
@@johnschlesinger2009 Not sure where you're getting your facts from, but half of those are to do with smoking tobacco and the carbon monoxide, and not to do with the nicotine.
I got hypertension 2 from nicotine pouches, the strength of these pouches is insane compared to normal cigs
26m here. Vaping got me off smoking, and nicotine pouches got me off vaping. I've been using Nic pouches for a few months now with no negative affects apart from occasional irritated gums and a bigger hit to my wallet than vaping! I haven't had a single hit of vape since I started using pouches.
helped me to quit vaping
Vaper here, have you just subtituted for these or did they work on giving up completely?
Why did you want to quit vaping? Recently swapped from smoking, massive improvement for me
@@smudj8181 Because you'll die of some mysterious cancerous disease in 20 years when they realise vaping is fucked 🤣 like they did with smoking
@@smudj8181 me too started on 18 mg down to 1 mg .planning to completely quit in next 2 months . Was really easy and I was a real heavy smoker for 30 years 😂 if I can do it anyone can
They helped with the craving of withdrawal. After a week I was craving free. Job done
Wow this was shocking. I wasn't even aware they existed! I'm a non-smoker/non vaper but have a grown up child that smokes and wants to quit . I'll be warning him of the dangers of Snus.
Warn him if alcohol while you are at it! A hard drug that is heavily marketed, comes in bright packaging of all shapes with fancy designs and in any flavour you like. A drug that is a class-1 carcinogen and leaves no organ undamaged, even light use impacts your quality of life massively, without you even knowing.
Tobacco PR agent: Quick purchase documentary on C4 to show the dangers of the healthier alternative.
You're not very bright are you? They're literally owned by the same companies.
Yeah, exactly, for example Camel cigarettes and Nordic snus are owned by the same company, Japan Tobacco International. And, they promote the snus they sell as a positive thing - a 'reduced risk product'
@@Amberle38 Lucy, Frē, NIIN, Juice Head. All independent. Sorry NLP doesn't work on me.
And also show the dangers of tobacco....
It is not legal to sell them to kids, what are you talking about?
same with vapes, but kids still get their hands on them. she is trying to highlight that despite the regulations nothing is being done to combat the illegal and underage use of nicotine
I've seen premier league footballers handling and putting these pouches near their lips, I wondered what they was and googled but all I could find was a type of menthol smelling salts in sachets. I've been educated now
Just advertised it to loads, I might start these myself get rid of the vape 😂
Exactly what I did, never tried these before this video, dashed the e-cig, shoved the creamy latte velo in 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been using this for 10 years. I've had no problems.
Don't tell the big cigarette companies that buddy...
I've been gambling 21 years and I'm still not addicted
@@PorkysNewTeeth go for 30
this must be a joke lmao
But this is not a new product. They’ve been around in the UK since the 80s… BBCs That’s Life programme ran a campaign to try and ban them way back in the early 80s.
The number of ads is really off-putting
The whole video is an ad for cigarettes
@@mumsspaghetti6649 being told that nicotine has fatal effects on human health should not encourage people to buy cigarettes
She's surprised that the strongest 4 dot pack burnt her lips and didn't feel good? Thats like someone who doesnt drink going into a pub and buying a pint of vodka... of course they wont have a good time
Nicotine pouches don’t even stimulate me, they make me feel sedated.
Sounds like something the Whos get hooked on in WhoVille.

Free sample en route 🙏
Have the original naswar
Not going to trust someone who refers to nicotine pouches as snus that's for sure
Its just a cig in a bag that you don't need to light and get a stronger hit and can ramp up without the hassle of lighters or burning through more cigs and can even use it while at your desk or doing stuff its more convenient. Vapes were the same started as stop smoking aid then they made them all bright and colourful and flavoured and nicotine free as if the chemicals aren't just as bad. If they get banned or restricted all that's gonna happen is something new comes along to bypass that and again and again nicotine is never going away.
Just so you know Nicotine Pouches are not SNUS. Snus is a moist tobacco snuff from sweden and nic pouches looks similar and are used in the same way but it not snus.
Snuff isn't the same as snus so you're wrong on 2 counts. Snus includes tobacco, these pouches are called white snus in Sweden because there's no tobacco and are sold as a subcategory of snus in Sweden too.
@@catmay6677 snus is the swedish word for snuff. just means milled tobacco. The farmers in sweden hundreds of years ago took european snuff and steam cured it and added fruit flavours.. . They call it snus which is the swedish word for snuff. technically snus is moist snuff. so dont call me wrong i know my history. but nicotine pouches are not snus. white snus is also the wrong word to describe nic pouches because you can get real snus such as General White, which is made with tobacco.
I have been using Velo/ZYN/SHERO, etc. for a year, and believe me, I have become something I can't even describe. Anger, irritability, loss of sleep, lethargy, and lack of focus-it's all gone. I mean, I am begging you, don't use nicotine pouches. Smoke one or two cigarettes a day, but stay away from this stuff. My life is being ruined by it. ( Pakistan)
Good product for people who enjoy being addicted, but don't want to spend all their cash on the ridiculously priced tobacco products. If you want to cut out addiction, you need to go cold turkey or do a proper nicotine replacement therapy. Also, the scale of harm in relation to tobacco smoking is so astronomical, it's actually worthy of cringe when you said people could buy real tobacco snus by mistake as a possible health concern.
honestly these seem better than vaping, which I switched to after smoking. might have to give them a go. there's no tobacco and if there are not dangerous levels of nicotine i'd say they're a good thing on the harm reduction front. Nicotine is addictive, but by itself it isn't all that harmful.
AND NEVER EVER FALL ASLEEP WITH ONE IN YOUR MOUTH , I nearly lost my teeth
You should show how many people you have in your surveys to be completely transparent.
Nicotine is one of the worst drugs anyone can get addicted too , they claim smoking tobacco is the worst way to receive it , so nothings going to be harmless but surely this is better and even tobacco containing snus ? This isn't new though had a friend using tobacco snus in 2016
I remember a man doing it in my local pub in 2004.He was snowing it off to everyone
Nicotine is almost literally harmless
Only alcohol is worse! But it can be bought in any flavour you like, even premixed with caffeine. Wonder why there is no campaign against that?
@@5688gamble Money Talks
its not nicotine. its the 40,000 other chemicals you find in cigarettes
oh look self righteous people whining at a persons choice yet again go away we dont need a nanny state
Yeah, all the statements applied to snus would go double for alcohol. But the baby state makes too much money from that, only nicotine and other drugs are too be targeted!
NGL, this has made me wanna try it, i'd never heard of it 😂

@@MANIC3420RIP💀
Velo max are the ones
If people on TikTok do it, then that’s a good reason not to.
Also, stop calling nicotine pouches Snus. It is not Snus. No one calls vapes "non-tobacco cigarettes".
They are snus though, they're called "white snus" in Sweden where they originated, so if anything they should be calling them white snus and not nicotine pouches
This is misleading. Selling Nic pouches to under 18s was made illegal in 2023.
Sweden has the lowest smoking rate in the world and is classed as a non smoking country. It also has the lowest cancer and cardiovascular disease rates in the western world. There are no proven pier reviewed links to mouth, throat and pancreatic cancer, in fact quite the opposite.
I have used, and still use them to quit vaping. I used vape to quit smoking.
As with vapes, this is down to the lack of enforcement. The product are still unregulated, however the industry is pushing to self regulate to enable this. Pouches are by for the safest alternative to combustible tobacco. The problem lies within certain unscrupulous retail and distribution sectors who do not care what they sell.
My comments are 100% factual and true.
While that may be true and I don't doubt the veracity of your comment. Nicotine still increases stroke risk clots etc. And you're still an addict. So it hasn't obviously worked in any way to stop your addiction just the way you administer it. You wouldn't say a heroine addict that bangs up has helped them give up chasing the dragon. 😂 and while a country may not smoke that correlation of that one variable doesn't give a full picture. They also have lots of other variables going on. Whether you smoke vape or stick snus up your bum you're an addict ..you're stroke risk is greater.. and planet of other health and mental health consequences... so I don't think its misleading. And while manufacturers and retailers are complicit the legality that allows that industry which is underregulated and inspected is also complicit. As is ignorance of the public who think vaping is anything other than a different mode of entry.
@@serendipidus8482 tell about mental health issues? I’m intrigued.
People (adults) chose to use and enjoy nicotine, and that’s their choice. Yes, I am addicted but so what? That’s my choice. What I’m not doing is using combustible methods of delivery which are, as we all know harmful.
So talk to me about the mental health issues?
@@serendipidus8482 and my point on misleading, if you read it again, is about “no legal age requirement”. This is misleading and incorrect.
@spudgun889 watch the video they go into the mental harms. And I'm smoking a cigarette right now so don't think I'm judging you. But the whole point of the video seems to have been lost on you. These are kids smoking. Not adults. And no there is no law that prohibits the sale of these products to kids. And yes they are harmful and people are not warned in the same way as cigarettes warn people so that you when you vape or my when I smoke we are making an informed choice kids are not informed the public and yourself are obviously not informed of the dangers and the law around them the point of this film was to educate the public but for some reason it hasn't got through the thick haze around your head.
why would you want to be addicited to anything full stop, people think , please ... , if your and addicted already it might be a way to come off the drug but its no way to start for sure , as an ex smoker i used vaping to start quitting and taken the mg down to nothing then my own will to quite completely (if there was a similar out look for this it could work and sure has for some) the drug does not infact calm you down it increases your heart rate and blood pressure it tricks you into thinking your calm and that you need to be calm hence the additive dangers and side effect of the drug , don't start and don't give in to peer pressure with any drugs, do your own research and don't trick your self into a world of copping , stay classy , stay safe
You’ve clearly never struggled with addiction if you think people ‘want’ to be addicted
There are many factors including genetic pre-disposition to addiction for some people
If it was as easy as ‘just don’t do it’ then people wouldn’t
Heart rate etc is not the reason for addiction mate. 😂
They will tax it soon
They already are tye tax is in the price just like everything else in the UK
Watching this with a snus in my mouth
I occasionally smoke no problem but snus make me feel sick they’re so strong 🤢
Football and TikTok, it’s where all the clever folks are.
This interviewer sounds like that confused relative who doesn't know what snus is, nor how it's pronounced. If all you can fill a 25 minute documentary with is 'nicotine bad' then you know that nicotine pouches are perfectly fine for you. Will continue sending a little post dinner african sugar glider straight to my upper deck with no worries :)
Another article on Nicotine Pouches which is pretty much negative when they should be showing positive light on Nicotine Pouches because it can save lives
stop talking bollocks
I tried these, ex smoker 4 years, i got a free when they first came out. I got a fruity taste. Withing seconds, my lips and mouth was burning, i felt so dizzy and nausea. Never again😂
At this point just smoke weed like it's crazy to me how tabaco is so ok but pot is just not well at least not everywhere tabaco cartel
I wanna try
Do these journalists do any research before actually making documentaries ?
Wow - Yet another thing I’ve never heard of before and would never consider polluting my body with! Humanity’s willingness to ingest chemicals with no concern for the potential health consequences is a source of permanent wonderment to me.
Do you drink?
I want a snus with caffeine in
Just take strong
caffeine tablets
The only drug that is allowed to be sold in any flavour, colour and bottle shape with caffeine mixed in is alcohol. Remember, in spite of being a class-1 carcinogen that damages every organ, your government is happy to allow this to be seen as part of the culture and remain untouchable whilst demonizing users of any other drug and placing heavy restrictions on them or outright banning them, even as alcohol causes mass carnage!
Free sample on route
Anyone else got a snuss in their mouth whilst watching this 🙋♂️
Had it sent to me for free, tried one , hated the taste and the nasty tingly feeling, its 💩
Never heard of this until I watched this video, haven't even smoked for 10 years or vaped, now I have 2 free samples on route. 😂
