Who have been the greatest smokers in the history of football?
There are several great players and coaches in the history of football who are fond of smoking. Some of them even made advertisements for the tobacco industry. Here are some of the most prominent ones:
1. Alfredo Di Stefano
The world of sport is associated with healthy living. In the football sphere we are at a level of professionalism where it is suggested that "a single cigarette can decide a match". But in the past, some football stars even advertised the tobacco they consumed. In the case of Alfredo Di Stefano, Lucky Strike.
2. Johan Cruiyff
A privileged mind for strategy. A star at Ajax and the genius who led Barcelona to success. During his time as a smoker everyone has seen him smoking on the bench. Before, when he was a player, he smoked two cigars at half-time.
3. Maradona
Well, undoubtedly "El Pelusa" is the most charismatic player in the history of football. He is remembered as much for his impressive left foot as for his excesses off the pitch.
He always lived his own way, without hiding. Apart from his other known addictions, he was clearly the greatest cigar smoker in the history of football.
What about today? Are there any known trainers or players who smoke?
Nowadays there are also quite a few players and coaches who have been caught by fans or paparazzi smoking a cigarette.
1. Joachim Löw
The German national team coach makes no secret of it. He is a recreational smoker who enjoys a cigarette with an espresso after a meal or with a glass of wine in good company.
2. Wayne Rooney
No less to be expected from a self-respecting England captain. Not to disappoint, this player who often appears in the tabloids and occasionally delights us with a scandal, has been spotted smoking numerous times in the English tabloids.
3. Piqué
Shakira's partner, being a model player and father, has no qualms about smoking a cigar to celebrate a victory or smoke a cigarette, as has been seen repeatedly in the press.
4. Jeremy Mathieu
He was heavily criticised for smoking when he was a Barcelona player, but in a recent interview he confessed "I'm neither the first nor the last player to smoke. When the fans see me on the pitch they are happy with me and this is what matters for me. I don't care what they think of me regarding my private life.
Is it OK to smoke while watching matches during the European Football Championship?
It depends on where we are watching the match, but if it's outdoors and we don't disturb the "neighbour", what better way to experience your team's match than with a cold beer and a home-produced cigarette?
If you also use an electric cigarette injector to make your own cigarettes, the appearance and taste of your cigarettes will be practically like those of industrial cigarettes.

Do you think that players having to hide to smoke is a double standard and that they should be allowed to smoke more openly?
