It was seen that Ben White is on vacation with his family while his former England teammates are in Germany for Euro 2024. He is carrying two cigars and nicotine pouches.
If the Arsenal defender had been available, he probably would have been in the final squad. However, Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate said in March that the 26-year-old has decided not to be available for selection.
White has taken a quick trip to Ibiza with his wife Milly and his parents instead of staying home to watch the Euros.
Now there are pictures of White buying a lot of Pablo nicotine pouches.
Snus, which can’t be bought in the UK right now, is often mistaken for nicotine pouches. Users usually get Snus from outside of the UK.

That was the only goal in the game, and England beat Serbia on Sunday night.
The tobacco in snus is sticky, and users put it between their upper lip and gumline.
In the UK, White was seen with a nicotine patch in his hand. These patches are legal to buy and do not contain tobacco.
As White went through the streets of Ibiza with his family, he was seen holding two cigars but not using the product.
In other shots, he was drinking white wine with his family while talking on the Spanish island.
In May, the Professional Footballers’ Association paid for a study that showed one in five top-level players used snus, nicotine pouches, or both.
The “first-of-its-kind” study looked at information from 628 male players in the Premier League and English Football League as well as 51 players from the Women’s Super League. The results showed that a lot of the players were using the drug.
There are worries that using both drugs can lead to a number of health problems. For example, the report says that people who smoke can become addicted to nicotine and have “an increased risk of oesophageal and pancreatic cancer compared to nonsmokers,” as well as oral health problems and heart problems.
Professional athletes, like Jamie Vardy of Leicester City, have also been seen with nicotine pouches in the past. In 2016, he was seen going towards England training in Chantilly, France, with a Red Bull and what looked like a tub of chewing tobacco.
In his book, Vardy wrote that he used snus to help him relax.

White went on vacation to Ibiza while his England teammates won their first game at Euro 2024 by a score of 1-0 over Serbia.
Jude Bellingham got the only goal in a game where the Three Lions didn’t play very well. In a tense second half, Serbia put more pressure on Southgate’s team.
White, on the other hand, is taking it easy before he starts pre-season training with Arsenal in a few weeks.
Since the end of the Christmas season, his wife Milly has been posting pictures of the two of them on vacation on social media.
In an Instagram post by Milly with the word “Life” and a blue heart emoji, White is seen having a cold drink while looking around. He is wearing a black and blue shirt.
Milly is sitting on her other half while taking the picture. The protector is sitting at a table with an umbrella under her arm.
A picture of the team was shared on the same day that England’s final Euros lineup was announced.
When asked if he talked to White before choosing his team, Southgate said, “No.” We can’t get in touch with him as far as I know.

White has made himself unavailable for Three Lions selection following a reported clash with assistant manager Steve Holland in 2022
Holland (left) is said to have asked White (right) if he was interested in football while they were in Qatar for the World Cup.
White has been capped four times for his country, but Southgate said in March that Arsenal’s sports director Edu had told him that White did not want to play for the Three Lions right now.
White’s England teammate Declan Rice said in March that he would talk to White when he got back to Arsenal and hoped that White would finally agree to end his exile.
He said, “All I can say is that it’s Ben’s life.” Ben has made up his mind. When he wants to do something, we can’t stop him. Of course, people will always be writing things and voicing their thoughts on things.
“But what he thinks is the only thing that matters in the end, and right now it’s clear that he doesn’t want to play for England.”
Reports say that the fight started when Steve Holland asked White if he was still interested in football while they were in Qatar.
Southgate’s helper is said to have asked Kyle Walker about Manchester City’s play from the previous season and then asked White the same thing about Arsenal.
Holland said White didn’t know the answer because he wasn’t interested in football after White reportedly said that.
The talk is said to have taken place in front of other team members.
