White snus is a small bag filled with nicotine. People put it between their gum and lip. It doesn’t have tobacco, but it has more nicotine than a cigarette.

The pouches often taste sweet and have fun colors which makes them interesting to children and teenagers. Many young people use them, even if they never smoked before. Some football players use it too. They say it helps them feel calm or focused. Children like footballers, and they do the same thing. But many users feel dizzy or sick after using it. Some students even use it in school. Teachers say students can’t focus well after taking it.

Shops and websites sell these pouches easily, even to children. Many of the products don’t even have health warnings. A new law is coming to stop this.

Difficult words: nicotine (a strong substance in cigarettes), focused (thinking about or looking at only one thing), dizzy (feeling like everything is spinning).
