Professional player

Hi, and sorry if this has been up before but,

I play icehockey on a quite high level until now (im 19). And i really wanna be in the best shape an hockeyplayer can be in. But i also really like snus.

And my question is, will snus destroy it? Can i get in really good shape and dont need breath and that, like cigs will do to you, if i use snus?.

of course i wont use snus 30 min before and under a practice/game. ( i practice+game 4-5 days a week ) .

So, will i be in just as good shape if i use snus, as if i dont use snus? thats the only thing i wanna know. If i get exhausted and lose fatigue over time, i wont use snus. so can anyone say to me that snus has nothing to do with my fatigue?

thanks for the help.

You'll be fine. If you're really worried about it just don't snus before you play.

I don't think oral tobacco will effect your performance in an adverse way like smoking. I know that here in America professional athletes who would never smoke use dip and chewing tobacco regularly. Baseball players are a good example.

However, I would think long and hard about beginning any habit that you don't already have.

Anyway......I hope this helps................ and..........................welcome to the form!

I could use some more opinions people

I think nicotine will still constrict your blood vessels but not sure. Should still be able to perform, but if you are not addicted I would suggest just stopping.

It's brutal to quit nicotine and, like alcoholics, the urge will be with you for the rest of your life.

you might want to check out this thread if you have not don so already http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthre...ufacturer-Info. It lists a good number of scientific studies that might be helpful.

Also playing hockey at the high level that you do I am sure there are other players who use snus. You might ask a few of them. Their input might address your concerns more directly (since they are doing the same thing you do at the same level)

Many ice hockey players in Northern Europe use snus, even during practice and so on.
