Goodbye Smokeless Tobacco!

Generally speaking, smoking is dangerous to our health. You get ZERO benefits from smoking but you can be a possible, ideal and future candidate for Mr or Miss Lung Cancer Patient in a few years. Therefore, quit smoking as soon as you can!

Anyways, we just want to share this article we’ve found from SeparationsNow.com stating that:

“One of the substances under consideration is nicotine. The growing body of evidence that nicotine can be used to boost performance is behind their deliberations, although it is not cigarettes that are thought to be the problem.” -Olivier Rabin (WADA)

Interesting. Read the more below:

“Tobacco is the new sporting stimulant. The culprit is smokeless tobacco, which can be chewed, snorted or “dipped”, placing it between the lips and gums. When taken this way, tobacco is not associated with harmful effects on the respiratory tract, which would hinder athletes, but nicotine is still absorbed by the body.

Rabin said recently “it is not our objective to catch athletes who smoke, but those who use nicotine as a means of enhancing their performance,” adding that they would have to find means of distinguishing one from the other.

More support for a smokeless tobacco ban came recently in a study of the urine samples taken from players during the 2009 Ice Hockey World Championships. About 50% of players from 72 tested qualified as consumers of smokeless tobacco products based on threshold levels of nicotine in their system.

Now, a new study published in 2011 supports the widespread use of smokeless tobacco with an extensive study of urine samples from athletes.”
