At one point, Snow used poisons to kill people in an effort to gain more control of Panem. First he drank the poisons, to lessen suspicions, before secretly taking the antidote. He was left with sores that never healed. He wears a white rose in his buttonhole at all times, partially to conceal the smell of blood.
Unknown to most people, President Snow poisoned others but drank the same drink as them to cover up his tracks, resulting in perpetual blood sores in his mouth. The scent of these sores are covered up by the signature white roses he is always seen carrying.
Later in the series, it is revealed that Snow has bleeding sores on the inside of his mouth, a result of drinking poison in order to trick his enemies into doing the same.
Finnick Odair later reveals that, according to Capitol gossip, Snow uses the scent-enhanced roses to hide the ever-present smell of blood that comes from his mouth sores; during his rise to power - and in an effort to keep it - Snow poisoned any potential rivals and often deflected suspicion by consuming the poisoned ...
However, when the stakes are as high as they are in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it makes sense why this character would ultimately become the series' main villain.

The Shocking Truth Behind President Snow Bloody Cough in The Hunger Games
How old is President Snow when he dies?
Snow was 18 during the 10th Hunger Games, making him 8 when the first Hunger Games took place. This means that during the 74th Hunger Games, he was indeed 82 (74+8). So he died at 83 in "The Mockingjay," since that was during the 75th Hunger Games...
Alma Coin was the true villain of The Hunger Games, with Katniss actually seeing her as more of a threat than Coriolanus Snow. At the same time, it was Snow who was made out to be the bad guy in previous movies, making some question why Katniss killed Coin and spared him.
At an unknown point in time years before the 74th Hunger Games, she was personally fired by Snow, the stated reason being due to her being too surgically enhanced.

Finnick learned many secrets, including that Snow, in his rise to power, poisoned his adversaries but to divert suspicion often drank from the same poisoned cup followed by an antidote that only Snow used. Segments of the propo of Katniss and Finnick are aired.
Katniss didn't really have the time to consider romance when she was worried about survival. When Peeta and Gale both made their feelings clear, Katniss wasn't entirely receptive despite caring for them both. In the end, her feelings for Peeta and Gale diverged, with Peeta ultimately winning her heart.
However, he did genuinely seem to care about his granddaughter; when she watched Katniss tearfully hugging Peeta in the Hunger Games after Finnick Odair revived him, she said she wanted to love someone that much someday. Snow beamed at her and replied, "And so you shall, my darling. So you shall."
Control: As the leader of Panem, President Snow wanted to maintain his power and control over the districts. Katniss became a symbol of rebellion and hope for many people, which threatened Snow's authority.
No, Lucy Gray has no relation to Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. When the original novel for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes first came out, some fans suspected that Lucy might actually be Katniss' grandmother.

As Lucy leaves for a brief moment to gather katniss, Snow grows paranoid and believes that she will betray him. In the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Lucy story, he starts to hunt her across the lake and the novel amps up his neurosis after he's bitten by a snake under a scarf that Lucy seems to have left behind.
