Honestly, this sounds really hard to believe, but it's from a reliable source. See the publication in question:
Is this an issue that the National Hockey League needs to seriously address? Does it affect the older players in the league more?
You can guess that it raises many questions, but the only information we have is the one mentioned above.
Here is our hypothesis: there may have been some misunderstanding between the journalist and the players.
It's possible that some players still smoke cigarettes during intermissions, but by "there are still many players who take breaks to smoke between periods", were the players questioned talking about "vaping"?
We have no idea, but that would be our assumption. One thing is for sure, it makes people react.
