All across the globe, there are efforts to ban smoking, flavored tobacco, and nicotine pouches such as Zyn. Yet those same entities seem to look the other way when it comes to vaping, marijuana use, and fast food intake. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talks about the war on tobacco and nicotine usage, why it's fairly classist in nature, and how Big Tobacco quietly became Big Food in the 1980s. Later in the podcast, he chats with long-time Patreon supporter Lance about his use of Zyn.   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well as bonus podcasts per week.
