"They are then entering into a video game trying to lift themselves and also are therefore taking caffeine tablets or Red Bull to try to obtain the increase.
" [With] numerous spikes in the body, type of balance if you like, I do not believe it is conducive to top efficiency, but more crucial it is not for the player being healthy for an extended period of time.
"It is pure nicotine going into the body and a terrible great deal of it.
"I see the number of gamers are actually on it. You can possibly most likely to possibly a third or half of a dressingroom. I believe they are uneducated on the negatives towards it.
"I have actually seen it when I was playing myself, and I have seen the result it had in both performance as well as likewise wellness of the gamers I have actually played with.
"It is almost component of the footballer's starter pack currently-- it is the washbag, the little bathtubs of snus.
"Sometimes gamers can have three or 4 under their top lip at one time and it is successfully the matching of smoking 3 or 4 cigarettes at one time."
