There has been a renewed focus on tobacco and nicotine products across Europe. Just as countries seek to speed up the process to a smoke-free future, through measures like generational smoking bans and increased regulations on packaging and advertising, there has been a sharp increase in young people using alternative nicotine products like vapes and pouches.Philip Morris International (PMI) expects to see two-thirds of its revenue come from smoke-free products by 2030 – including its product, Zyn. Dr Moira Gilchrist, chief communications officer at PMI, and Charlie Weimers MEP, a member of the Swedish Democrats, join The Spectator's Lara Brown to talk about how nicotine pouches can help the transition away from tobacco to a smoke-free future. While this podcast was sponsored by PMI, The Spectator retained full editorial control, with no subject off-limits. Is PMI's concern genuine or purely for future-proofing their business? What lessons can the UK take from Sweden, which expects to be declared the first ‘smoke-free' country? And what does the science say?This podcast is sponsored by Philip Morris International. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this lively and candid episode, UNB Tim sits down with Tim Wildman, founder of WildmanT, to discuss the evolution of his brand and how he became the go-to creator of big-pouch underwear. The conversation dives into how the Big Dick Underwear Company was born, how marketing restrictions shaped the brand's voice, the challenges of producing in the U.S., and the surprising demographics of his customer base. The two Tims explore the rise of pouch-focused underwear, being copied by competitors, the unexpected popularity of thongs among straight men, and the growth of the modified/pumpers community that helped shape WildmanT's Monster Cock line. The episode also touches on social media censorship, customer needs, limited-edition drops, and upcoming product ideas like leggings and swim thongs. Funny, brutally honest, and packed with insider industry insights, this episode highlights the importance of solving real problems for real men—and the sometimes wild world of men's underwear design. ⸻ Takeaways Brand Origins & Strategy • WildmanT started in 2009 with novelty items but pivoted after consistent copying and marketing limitations. • When ads weren't allowed, he turned keywords into his main advertising strategy—using language big brands couldn't. • Search terms like “big dick underwear” became a goldmine because buyers were already looking for exactly that. Building a Unique Market • WildmanT intentionally targeted underserved men in middle America who struggled with comfort in standard underwear. • His brand became one of the first fully dedicated “big pouch” companies, not just a single product line. Challenges of Social Media & E-Commerce • Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Amazon routinely flag men's underwear images regardless of compliance. • Even mannequin photos are often rejected, forcing the use of “ghost” product shots. • Automated content moderation is inconsistent, making it difficult for underwear brands to operate normally online. Product Evolution • Customer demand continually pushed for bigger pouches—today's “Big Boy” is nearly double its original size. • The Monster Cock pouch was born from needs of the modified/pumpers community. • Limited editions (Halloween, upcoming Santa brief) sell out immediately and won't be reproduced. Manufacturing Philosophy • All WildmanT products are made in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which increases costs but maintains quality and control. • The team is exploring leggings, but pricing and production costs remain a barrier. • Swimwear thongs may return soon. Customer Insights • 60–70% of WildmanT customers are straight men seeking comfort solutions. • Doctors who perform implants and scrotal enhancement surgeries recommend WildmanT to patients. • Big dick underwear isn't just about vanity—many buyers struggle with long-term comfort and mobility issues. Industry Commentary • Copycat designs are rampant in the underwear market. • Smaller brands often lose out when competing companies mass-produce their ideas. • Despite growing acceptance, men's underwear is still difficult to market due to censorship and social taboos. ⸻ Sound Bites • “My raunchy mouth is what made me the king of big dick underwear.” • “People searched for big dick problems—but nobody marketed to them until I did.” • “There are things out there bigger than I ever thought possible.” • “If you're hard, you should probably take your underwear off and start fucking.” • “I make everything in the U.S. because I want perfection—and oversight.” • “Some people buy my underwear not because they need it, but because it makes them feel good.” • “Everything I make is designed for support and comfort first. Fun comes second.” • “Many of my customers have spent 20, 30, sometimes 40 years trying to find underwear that finally fits.” • “The Monster Cock pouch was created because the modified community needed an off-the-shelf solution.” • “I can't hide from my Southern family what I do—they see the site and think it's wild.” Links: Store – www.wildmant.com Social Twitter – https://x.com/BigBoyPouch YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/wildmantonline Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wildmantim Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/wildmantonline NOTE – if reading this after the show has dropped, sometimes the account gets deleted by the social media site.

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DNd-p9zO5Hl/Nicotine pouches ingestions have surged some 700% between the years 2020 and 2023.  This from a study by Nationwide Children's Hospital that analyzed national poison control data from 2010 to 2023 on over 134,000 cases of nicotine ingestion in children under 6. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that the majority of the ingestions occurred in children under 2 years old.  This is likely because kids can easily mistake the small, brightly colored, and flavored nicotine pouches for candy. Even small amounts of nicotine can be poisonous for young children.If you as a parent feel the need to use nicotine in any form but particularly in pouches, store the nicotine in a secure place not accessible by curious children. If your kids do manage to get their hands on this or any potential poison, be aware that the National Capitol Poison Help Line is available to help you 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222.https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/156/2/e2024070522/202640/Nicotine-Ingestions-Among-Young-Children-2010-2023?autologincheck=redirected#nicotine #pouch #poison #children

Why are politicians trying to ban the safer alternatives to cigarettes… while leaving cigarettes untouched? What's the real motivation behind targeting products like Zyn and vapes? Is this about protecting public health—or protecting power and control? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this punchy, eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive headfirst into the war on nicotine alternatives. Host Brian Nichols sits down with health policy analyst and harm reduction fellow Sophia Hamilton to break down why the government is so obsessed with regulating—if not outright banning—products like Zyn pouches. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with outdated narratives, political grandstanding, and generational ignorance. Sophia walks us through how the government's crackdown on Juul created a black market mess, how Zyn emerged as a cleaner, safer alternative, and why politicians like Chuck Schumer are frothing at the mouth to ban it next. Even though studies show these products are far less harmful than traditional tobacco, that's not stopping the Nanny State from stepping in. Brian and Sophia also dig into the generational divide fueling this hysteria—highlighting how Gen Z is rejecting alcohol and cigarettes but is being punished for making safer, informed choices. The hypocrisy is rich: the same boomers who once fell for Big Tobacco ads now want to control what young people can and can't use, despite overwhelming data and personal autonomy. And let's not forget the role of the FDA, which seems more interested in gatekeeping and bureaucracy than in approving harm-reduction products that actually help people quit smoking.

AORN's updated guideline on packaging for sterilization provides crucial guidance for perioperative teams, addressing key concerns and promoting best practices for selecting, using, and maintaining packaging systems.Addressing Critical Issues in Packaging for SterilizationAORN periodically reviews and updates its guidelines to reflect current evidence and best practices. This update focuses on several critical areas:Packaging Defects: The guideline emphasizes the importance of minimizing packaging defects that can compromise sterility. Personnel Discomfort:Recognizing the ergonomic challenges faced by sterile processing professionals, the guideline addresses strategies to create a more comfortable and safe work environment.Quality of Pouches and Wraps: The guideline stresses the importance of inspecting single-use wraps and filters for defects before use.Streamlining Instrument Sets: The guideline encourages optimizing instrument sets to eliminate unnecessary instruments, streamlining processes, and potentially saving time and resources.Packaging for Sterilization Guideline Changes and Enhancements:Ergonomic Considerations: The guideline emphasizes creating an ergonomic work environment for sterile processing professionals, including comfortable work surface heights, adjustable seating, adequate space for assembling trays, proper lighting, noise reduction, and anti-fatigue mats.Inspection of Wraps and Filters: The guideline reinforces the importance of inspecting all single-use wraps and filters for defects before assembling instrument sets.Streamlining Instrument Sets: New recommendations encourage facilities to streamline instrument sets by identifying and removing infrequently used instruments. This can improve efficiency and reduce costs.Pouch Use and Technique: The guideline provides detailed recommendations for using peel pouches (paper/plastic), including proper sizing, sealing techniques, and inspection of seals for gaps, folds, bubbles, or wrinkles.Heat Sealer Maintenance: The guideline emphasizes the importance of using heat sealers according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct temperature settings for different materials, and maintaining equipment for optimal performance.Support the showWelcome to the Periop Talk—your go-to vlog and podcast series where we examine the world of perioperative nursing.Episode after episode, we're bringing you professional tips, clinical wisdom, and personal stories that'll make you feel like you're chatting with your work BFFs.

April 9, 2025 - Some Democratic state lawmakers are looking to ban flavored nicotine pouches, so we consider the proposal with Dr. Brian Erkkila, director of regulatory science at Swedish Match, a subsidiary of Philip Morris International, which makes the ZYN brand pouches.

My guest is Dr. Staci Whitman, DMD, a board-certified functional dentist for kids and adults. We discuss the critical importance of oral care and the oral microbiome for brain and bodily health. We examine the negative effects of common oral care product ingredients such as alcohol, astringents, and bleaches. We also explore the history and real impact of fluoridated drinking water on oral, bone, and systemic health. Then we discuss healthy, lesser-known solutions for bad breath, canker sores, cavities, and teeth whitening. We cover how teeth can be made to repair their own cavities and the connection between oral health and cardiovascular health, male and female fertility, dementia, and cancer. This episode goes far beyond the best approaches to brushing and flossing and will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their oral health and appearance at any age.
