Polish President Karol Nawrocki got into a funny situation during a live interview. During the conversation, a bag of smokeless tobacco fell out - snus, to which the Polish politician was addicted. The presenter hurried to the aid of the head of state, picked up and handed him a bag, which Navrotsky immediately tried to hide.

The scene caused laughter in the studio, and the video quickly spread across the Internet. The Polish publication Wprost reported on the incident..

The President of Poland gave an interview to Kanal Zero live. Together with host Robert Mazurek, he discussed, in particular, a possible veto of the cryptocurrency law, as well as the confusion surrounding the swearing-in of judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. The broadcast included calls from viewers to the studio. During one of these calls the mentioned incident occurred. While Navrotsky was listening to the viewer’s questions, the president’s snus fell out of his pocket. Snus is a nicotine product in the form of small packets, they are placed under the upper lip - and the nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa.

The presenter decided to help the head of state and bent down, picked up the bag and handed it to Navrotsky, who tried to hide it as quickly as possible.

“The man wanted to be polite,” the presenter joked with a laugh..

The viewer, who was in touch by phone, heard the laughter and was somewhat confused, so Mazurek was forced to describe to him what exactly caused such fun in the studio. The public became aware of Nawrocki's addiction to snus during the 2025 elections, when he put it in his mouth during a television debate with Rafal Trzaskowski. This raised suspicions that the then presidential candidate might be a drug addict - to which Navrotsky responded by inviting critics to “take open tests for physical fitness and health status.”.

Later that year, on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, a similar story was told.

The video showed how, during a break, Nawrocki's assistant or security guard handed him a box, which probably contained snus, after which the Polish president placed the contents of the box under his lip. The request is argued by the fact that the abolition of the special regime for refugees from Ukraine in Poland hit the least protected categories of citizens. Without access to free medical care, many miss out on the opportunity to take care of their health, which puts their lives at risk. In addition, the Poles themselves also felt the consequences of such a decision..
