Why is a billionaire funding a global campaign to ban safer alternatives to tobacco products and convince the public to believe the lie that nicotine causes cancer? This episode of Rethinking Reality exposes the anti-science disinformation campaign about nicotine that's taken over public health agencies in the past five years to become the culturally acceptable narrative. Let's talk about why billionaire octogenarian Michael Bloomberg is spending his fortune on banning tobacco alternative products, how Big Tobacco and Big Pharma benefit from anti-vaping propaganda, and the millions of lives that will be lost because of these lies.
