The forward said he was first introduced to snus - a tobacco-based nicotine product that users place between their upper lip and gumline - during his time at Palace, who he represented from 2014-17.
Former Premier League striker Fraizer Campbell has revealed he suffered from a crippling snus addiction during his playing career that left him constantly fatigued. Speaking to the Sports Agents, the 39-year-old former Manchester United and Crystal Palace player explained he was introduced to the tobacco-based nicotine product to unwind after games before his usage escalated to morning training sessions.
