Travis Makes Friends

Is Nicotine Poison... or the ULTIMATE Health Hack? | Biohacker, Dentist & Anatomy Educator Explain


Listen Later

What actually happens to your body when you smoke, vape, or use nicotine pouches like Zyn? In this episode, we dive into one of the most debated topics in health: nicotine and smoking.


I’ve pulled together insights from some of the smartest voices I know on the subject:


Justin Cottle (Institute of Human Anatomy) – breaks down what smoking and vaping really do to your lungs, whether cigars are “better,” and how different methods of inhaling stack up on the risk scale.


Dave Asprey (Father of Biohacking) – explains how nicotine might have cognitive and longevity benefits in very small doses, why smoking is not the same as nicotine, and what safe use actually looks like.


Dr. Brady Smith (Dentist) – shares how smoking and nicotine impact your teeth, gums, and oral health long term.


We cover it all:


Cigarettes vs. cigars vs. weed


Vaping (nicotine and THC) and why the “unregulated” side is so dangerous


Popcorn lung, emphysema, COPD, and other risks


Whether nicotine alone is harmful or helpful


The reality of nicotine pouches like Zyn


How frequency and dosage change the equation


👉 This is your masterclass episode on nicotine, smoking, and vaping—the risks, the potential upsides, and the uncomfortable truths most people don’t want to admit.
