If you are a professional football player and you are smoking something is wrong with your head for sure. I must say I am disappointed now when I now this. When Dugarry said his way of life is wrong for a proffesional player I thought he is talking bullshit but now I am in a doubt...

I remember Jordan smoking big cigars after championships and during his leisure time. Cruyff, he used to smoke too. Even during Dutch team concentrations. He's vacationing, and he's a professional athlete which means he probably has some discipline. You can trust him to not become a drunk by drinking during his holidays, what difference is a smoke. Big deal.

I might add that there is a significant difference in the consequences between drinking and smoking, but as long as he can keep himself in check i don't see the problem with him smoking a cig once in a while.

Yes indeed, some people need to see the reality. Football players are also humans. Why can't they enjoy their time off? They are on a strict diet etc almost a whole year.

That's because they are not a big club, it's a mercenary club. Nasser bought that club for his personal glory, the players are his personal property, he can do with them whatever he wants. On top of everything else he is a dumb-sheet, can't understand that forcing Verratti to stay maybe will damage the players career, but it will tarnish a club reputation forever. No self respecting player will go to that club.

You're wrong on all the line. Nasser didn't buy anything. He is just the president of the club. The owner of the club is the State of Qatar. Not even the Emir. The club belongs to the state.
And yes, Nasser defends his interest. Who can blame him on it ? Verratti will stay, he signed a contract until june 2021. Nothing more to say.

I'm against smoking too, but I think it is ok if they smoke at one time or another in the summer break or an occasional cigar like Piqué.
Don't think that they smoke regularly. It was more common some decades ago. Today there are probably nearly no players that play on the highest level and smoke regularly. They wouldn't be able to perform on that level if they'd do.

Absolutely, but a smoke during his holidays will the same effect as drinking during his holidays, none. Nate Diaz smokes weed everyday, and still competes in the UFC.

Tapping is something our club famous for. Bellerin, Verratti, Dembele, Lima. Why do they even do that? It looks bad on us. One day it will come back to bite us in the ass. We will probably be transfer banned if we are proven guilty in Lima scenario.

I don't think it will haunt Barca, hence why it's so easy to do it.
Barca is effectively the top of the food chain alongside Real. You can easily sign any questionable character such as Verratti or Donnarumma and it would probably never haunt you, because there's no further upgrade to them that they can fuck off too. Barca is not dependend on its players loyalty. Trophys, prestige and money will keep anyone loyal to you.

Smoking few packs/summer isn't really a problem, but if you smoke pack/half a day it becomes a serious nuisance to your health.
