According to the Research Department, Centre of Military Medicine, Helsinki, Finland, studies of the relationship between sports activity and smoking among adolescents and young adults show a clear association between SNUS use and intensity and type of training. The most common team sports in Finland are football, floorball, volleyball, and basketball.
The Oslo Sport Trauma Research Center, The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Oslo, Norway claims nearly the same. They say that the association between team sports and use of snus suggests that sport subcultures play a role. Other studies have linked higher exposure to R-rated movies with smoking among adolescents in Wisconsin and New Zealand.
It has always been noted that movies with actors and actresses smoking has increased the act of smoking. Black adolescents did not appear to be affected by smoking by White actors, unlike White adolescents who were susceptible to both Black and non-Black movie characters according to a study by the Department of Pediatrics, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Those organizing team sports should be aware that SNUS is generally used at a higher degree among regular competitive sports activities.
