Join us as we take you through the gripping details of Philip Morris' latest move to build a "Zyn" nicotine pouch factory in Aurora, Colorado—their first U.S. factory in half a century. This episode kicks off with a bold discussion on my recent op-ed critiquing the economic incentives granted by the Aurora City Council and the uncritical media coverage of this development. We expose the alarming health risks tied to these products, especially as they skyrocket in popularity among young people.

We'll also explore the dark history of Philip Morris, delving into their targeted marketing that has ravaged vulnerable communities—youth and people of color, in particular. From the aggressive advertising strategies to the public health crisis wrought by tobacco, this episode sheds light on the devastating consequences of these addictive products. Tune in to understand the ongoing battle against big tobacco and why staying informed about the repercussions of nicotine products is more crucial than ever.
