Why young people like white snus – level 1

28-04-2025 07:00

White snus is a small bag with nicotine. People put it in the mouth, near the lip. It has no tobacco, but it has a lot of nicotine.

White looks fun. It has many colors and a sweet taste. Many young British people want to try it. Even those who never smoke cigarettes. Some football players use it. They feel calm and focused. Some students use it too. They take it to school. After that, they feel sick or dizzy. It is not good for the body. But they want to take it again. Teachers see that students are different.

Shops sell it to children. There is no health sign on the box. A new law will try to stop this.

Difficult words: nicotine (a strong substance in cigarettes), dizzy (feeling like everything is moving), law (a rule from the government).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
