Podcasts about smokers

The UK just passed a radical ban: no tobacco for anyone born after 2008. Meanwhile, Chinese cities like Shenzhen and Hong Kong are using AI and other technologies to police public smoking, all in the name of clean air. Gen Z is becoming the first "nicotine free generation." But even if laws really can kill addiction, where do we draw the line between protecting health and policing choice? On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

Have you struggled with setting boundaries with the marijuana smokers in your life?  Do you wonder if it should be okay with you when it is not okay with you? The increase in the use of pot is related to its legalization in many states. With that comes its normalization. Many now believe that is less harmful than alcohol. It isn't easy to tells someone that you don't approve of its use when they can argue that it is accepted and no big deal. Making decisions about marijuana are easier when you know the facts about it. This video will review a recent article about a meta-study on it's effects on the brain, especially if it is link to an increase in psychosis. It also presents other facts about marijuana that will help you decide. Watch this video to help you decide whether you need boundaries with pot smokers.  #boundariesinrelationships   #addictionrecovery #christianrelationshipadvice #marijuanaabuse #christianboundaries  Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally.

The British government is set to ban the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2008 - raising both hopes that it could create the first smoke-free generation, but also doubts about whether it could actually be enforced. The legislation also puts limits on the sale and consumption of vape products. Host Maria Kestane speaks with Michael Chaiton, a Senior Scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and an Associate Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, about whether or not the idea is feasible, and if it might be worth considering in Canada. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

They Banned A Dictionary Definition. Here's Why.Dr. Bryan Ardis returns. 90 minutes of the stuff they really don't want you to see.This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your health regimen.Nine months ago I sat down with Dr. Bryan Ardis and we did an interview that generated somewhere north of 140 million views across my platforms.The Australian government's TGA (the equivalent of the FDA in the US) sued Meta to have a nine-minute clip removed from Facebook inside Australia. The clip wasn't about vaccines. It wasn't about COVID treatment protocols. It wasn't about anything you'd expect regulators to lose sleep over.It was about a dictionary definition.The word virus.That clip had an average watch time of two minutes and fifteen seconds on a three-minute video. People watched it almost all the way through. Over and over. Because it cracked something open in them that couldn't be shut again.So when Bryan reached out and said he had more to share, I cleared my calendar.What followed was 90 minutes that I believe will change the way you see your food, your medicine, your government, and your own body.Here's what we covered.Why That Clip Had To Come DownThe word virus is not an English word. It is Latin. For four centuries, from the 1600s through to the modern era, it has carried one definition.A poison. Especially of snakes. Venom.That is not conspiracy. That is etymology. You can look it up yourself in any pre-modern dictionary.Now here is why that single fact is so threatening to the pharmaceutical industry.From the moment you are born, you are told you need vaccines to protect you from viruses. In America, within 24 hours of birth, before your baby can leave the hospital, it receives a hepatitis B vaccine. Bryan points out that the medical profession's own explanation for how hepatitis B spreads is through unprotected sex with multiple partners or sharing syringes. He asks a reasonable question: how many newborns in a hospital nursery are doing either of those things?The deeper issue is this. If a virus is venom, and that is what the word has always meant, then the narrative that viruses spread between people falls apart completely. Venom doesn't transmit person to person through the air or through contact. It has to be introduced. Deliberately. Through a delivery mechanism.Once you know that, you stop asking "how do I avoid catching this?" and you start asking "how is this getting into me, and who benefits?"That is why the TGA made the call.The Paris Research Nobody Talked AboutIn April 2020, four months into the pandemic, two researchers in Paris ordered spike proteins of COVID from China and the UK. They wanted to understand a paradox being reported around the world by scientists and doctors. Smokers appeared to be largely immune to COVID symptoms.They ran the proteins through a DNA sequencing machine to find what they were identical to in nature.The result was what Bryan describes as an aha moment. The two spike proteins, S1 and S2, were found to be identical to venom proteins from two snakes. The King Cobra toxin and Bungarotoxin from the Bungarus snake in China. Both are classified as neurotoxins. Both specifically target the nerves that control breathing, which explains the respiratory symptoms. They also bind to nerves responsible for taste, smell, hearing, and memory. That explains every other major COVID symptom.The switches these venom proteins target on your cells are called alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The N in that name stands for nicotine. Tobacco users already had nicotine occupying those receptors, keeping cells functioning. The venom proteins couldn't get a foothold. That's why smokers weren't getting sick.That's why four weeks after Bryan released this research in his Watch the Water documentary in 2021, Australia, New Zealand, America, and Canada held a meeting and announced a global health agenda to ban all nicotine and tobacco products by 2030.The 26-Year SetupBryan walks through what he believes is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. It starts in 1994.In April of that year, the seven CEOs of America's largest tobacco companies were summoned before Congress. Under oath, under threat of perjury, every single one of them declared that nicotine is not addictive.Four months later, the FDA published a warning that nicotine is highly addictive and mandated warning labels on all tobacco products.In 1994, 56% of American adults used tobacco products. By 2020, that number was down to 11%. Bryan's argument is that this 26-year propaganda campaign was not accidental. It was a deliberate reduction in the population's natural protection against the biological event that was coming.By the time COVID arrived, 90% of the American population had no nicotine in their system. 90% of people were, in his words, ripe and ready.The Tobacco Panacea They BuriedHere is something the medical profession has known for centuries but does not advertise.From 1492 to 1860, the medical profession maintained what is called the Panacea Doctrine. A formal list of what was considered the single cure for all human diseases in any given era. For four hundred years, there was only one plant ever given the designation "panacea of all panaceas."The tobacco plant.Bryan has the medical textbooks. He has the case studies. Tobacco has been published by conventional medicine to be antibacterial, antifungal, anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti-Alzheimer's, antihypertensive, and powerfully anti-inflammatory. The cardiac glycosides in tobacco (the nutrients that keep arteries elastic and blood pressure stable) are the same compounds cardiologists now prescribe in synthetic form as prescription drugs.Ozempic, the second highest-revenue drug in the world last year, is Gila monster lizard venom. Bryan points out that tobacco has been published in medical journals for 400 years as a hunger regulator and obesity preventative. Every beta cell in your pancreas that produces insulin requires nicotine to activate it. No nicotine, no proper insulin release. That is not his theory. It is published.They cannot patent the tobacco plant. They can patent synthetic versions of what is inside it. That is why it had to be demonised.What's In Your Food That Nobody Told You AboutThis was the part that stopped me cold.Bryan shared a 2021 research study titled Applications of Venom Biodiversity in Agriculture. He pulled up a chart mapping five sources of venom being deliberately inserted into the seeds of genetically modified crops worldwide. Snake venom, spider venom, scorpion venom, bee venom, and wasp venom.The crops on the list: melons, cabbage, soybeans, lettuce, beans, celery, rice, stevia, potatoes, wheat, peppers, tomatoes, corn, watermelons, radishes, squash, cucumbers, canola oil, sunflower. The companies holding the patents are agricultural biotech giants. Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, holds the majority.The justification given in the research paper is that if venom is infused into every part of a plant from seed to fruit, insects that eat the plant die from the venom. No need to spray pesticides externally. The paper states that "agriculture, environment, and society are benefiting from this use of venom biodiversity."Bryan's question is simple. If this benefits society, why has no one been told?The number of patents for venom-laced crop seeds grew 490% between 2002 and 2004 alone. It has continued growing. There has been no independent research published on what those venoms do to humans consuming them long term.What does venom do in the human body? It depletes zinc and copper from every cell. Glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup, also owned by Monsanto) does the same thing to the soil. That means the plants you eat are already stripped of the minerals you need before the venom in the seed adds another layer of depletion. The result is a population that is both mineral-deficient and being low-dose poisoned daily through the food supply.Gusty's StoryI want to share this because it needs to be heard.A man named Gusty jumped onto one of my Facebook Lives in mid-January. Four hundred pounds. Stage four lung cancer. Six months to live. Forty-nine years old, six kids, nine grandchildren.He didn't want chemotherapy. We talked. I encouraged him to make a declaration. Not medical advice, just a commitment to his own healing. He got on soursop, ivermectin, nicotine patches, and the carnivore diet. He switched from 60 commercial cigarettes a day to 20 American Spirit organic cigarettes because he couldn't afford the full 60.Twelve weeks later he FaceTimed me from his oncologist's office. Sixty pounds down. Cancer free.Bryan's explanation: commercial tobacco contains 599 FDA-approved chemical additives including arsenic. That's what causes the harm, not the plant itself. Organic tobacco is antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antiviral. Nicotine occupies the same receptors that venom blocks, releasing the grip on cells and allowing the body to shed excess tissue. The carnivore diet stopped feeding whatever parasitic or cancerous mechanisms were running. The body did the rest.In 20 years of clinical practice, Bryan found 80% of cancers were actually parasitic infections. Since COVID, roughly half are parasitic and half appear to be driven by venom proteins, either from the virus itself or from components he identifies in the COVID...

Kevin Costner spent $200 million making a Mad Max ripoff on the open ocean — and the man has gills behind his ears. That's right. Waterworld's hero is a merman. A gill-having, web-toed, pee-drinking merman. And Cinema Psychos is here to ask the only question that matters: Really That Awful? Brian and John go full deep dive on Waterworld (1995), one of Hollywood's most notorious production disasters and one of the most divisive bad movies of the 1990s. They cover everything: why shooting on open ocean is genuinely suicidal for a film budget, how Kevin Costner fired his own director mid-edit and took over post-production himself, why Dennis Hopper is the only person on screen who clearly knows what kind of movie he's in, and how a world where the polar ice caps have entirely melted somehow still has a drinking water shortage. There are plot holes deep enough to lose a submarine in. There are action scenes with the energy of a kid smashing action figures together with no plan. There is a bungee cord rescue sequence that defies physics, logic, and basic narrative structure and secretly rules. And there is one man. Part human. Part fish. All Kevin Costner.

Dom, ILL, and Q dive into one of the most infamous big-budget movies of the 90s — Waterworld (1995)Directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner, this post-apocalyptic adventure imagines a future where the polar ice caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely covered by water. The story follows a mysterious drifter known only as the Mariner, a lone sailor navigating a dangerous ocean world filled with pirates, scavengers, and rumors of the mythical Dryland.When the film hit theaters through Universal Pictures, it made headlines for being the most expensive movie ever made at the time. But did the massive budget pay off? Critics were split  some loved the ambitious world-building and action, while others slammed the story and performances.In this episode of Say Whats Reel, the crew breaks down: The wild behind-the-scenes production and budget Kevin Costner's silent antihero performance The Smokers and the chaotic villains of the sea Whether the movie deserves its “box office flop” reputation If Waterworld is actually an underrated cult classic today Was this ambitious ocean epic ahead of its time, or did it sink under its own weight?

Lung cancer is Canada's deadliest cancer—and about one in four cases now occur in people who have never smoked. Toronto father Winhan Wong knows this firsthand: a lingering cough nine years ago led to a stage-four diagnosis. Thoracic surgeon Dr. Christian Finley explains why lung cancer is rising among never-smokers, the stigma around diagnosis, and how a national action plan aims to save lives.

There are concerns using vaping as a tool to quit smoking contradicts the rest of the world. Health New Zealand's free vape programme has given out more than seven thousand devices to smokers, despite Newstalk ZB revealing last year's trial had a success rate of less than half. Now, a half-million-dollar contract has been signed to provide the devices through New Zealand-owned company, Alt. Auckland University vaping researcher Kelly Burrowes told Mike Hosking it isn't recommended as a quitting tool, due to the risk associated. She says that's why other countries aren't doing this.

This week, Chris and I dive deep into a question we've been getting a lot since our town hall event with Sarah Swain, Rebecca Matthews, and Elisa Kitz (which had almost 2,000 registrants!): Why are permanent tax shelters considered an asset class?   I'll be honest—this was a concept that completely confused me until about 4-5 years ago. I grew up being taught that insurance is an expense, never an investment. But understanding how certain life insurance policies can provide liquidity, tax advantages, and long-term value has been game-changing for our family—both personally and professionally. In this episode, we break down: The difference between whole life and universal life insurance Why insurance should be the foundation of your financial house (not just the pretty stuff on top) How permanent policies build cash value you can borrow from tax-free Why getting insured young matters more than you think The connection between your health records and insurance premiums This might feel like a big topic to grasp, but stick with us. We're here to help you understand what you weren't taught growing up.   Timestamps & Chapters [2:53 - 4:33] Why This Topic Matters Now Questions coming in about permanent tax shelters as an asset class How life insurance can offer protection AND build long-term value Jenn's journey from seeing insurance as an expense to understanding it as an investment [4:33 - 7:00] What Are Permanent Tax Shelters? Two types: Whole life and universal life insurance How they differ from term insurance (which is like "rent") Why these policies are structured differently for every person [7:00 - 10:20] Whole Life vs. Universal Life Whole life: Invested through the insurance company, pays dividends, safer/more conservative Universal life: Invested through markets, higher growth potential Companies we work with have been paying dividends for over 100 years [10:20 - 13:20] The Trust Factor Why people are hesitant to invest (lack of education, past bad experiences) Importance of transparency: where money goes, how returns work, paperwork to back it up Finding advisors who customize to YOUR needs, not just sell hot products [13:20 - 17:00] The Foundation Analogy Chris's building background: insurance is like the foundation of a house TFSAs, RRSPs, FHSAs are the "pretty stuff" on top If the foundation isn't solid, everything collapses when markets slip Different types of insurance: life, critical illness, disability [17:00 - 20:20] Why We Have Different Policies Individual needs vs. family goals Whole life for lending money back to yourself Universal life for stronger growth through market investments [20:20 - 23:40] Term vs. Permanent Insurance Explained Term insurance: Pay for protection for 10, 20, 30 years—when it expires, you're done (or renew at a much higher rate) Example: $75/month at age 30 becomes $500/month at age 65 Permanent insurance: Pay for a set period (often ~20 years), then you're covered for life [23:40 - 26:40] Health & Insurance Qualification Medical Insurance Bureau (MIB) has access to ALL your medical records Even minor things (like getting imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums Jenn's story: Great health rating, lower premium Chris's story: One seizure from paintball at 21 flagged him for years [26:40 - 30:00] The Integrity Factor Insurance companies will test for things like nicotine in your hair if you claim to be a non-smoker Lying on applications can void your entire policy Smokers can requalify as non-smokers after 12 months nicotine-free and cut premiums in half [30:00 - 35:20] Why We're Talking About This Jenn's perspective: Health and wealth are connected Financial stress impacts health; lack of finances prevents getting health support The gap in what we weren't taught as adults, parents, business owners Teaching preparedness so people know what questions to ask [35:20 - 40:00] How Permanent Policies Build Cash Value Example: $100/month → $25 to insurance, $75 to investment Money grows tax-free inside the policy You can borrow from it with minimal or zero tax (depending on timing) Compare to RRSPs: 100% taxed at withdrawal at your marginal rate Insurance companies are great at saving from taxation; investment companies are great at making money—permanent policies combine both [40:00 - 43:00] The Self-Lending Strategy Build cash value you can borrow from tax-free or with greatly reduced tax Use for home repairs, helping kids, investments, etc. You can put in $300-500/month—insurance still only costs $25, rest goes to your investment fund [43:00 - 46:00] Inflation & Long-Term Planning Average Canadian couple needs $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably Inflation designed to be ~2.5% annually Example: Bag of milk was $2-3 twenty years ago, now $6-9, will be $20 in the future If you're only making 2.5% interest, you're just keeping up with buying power—not growing wealth Importance of reviewing statements together as a couple (even when uncomfortable)     Key Highlights & Takeaways ✅ Insurance as Foundation, Not Expense: Permanent life insurance should be viewed as the foundation of your financial house—not a bill, but an investment that protects everything else you build on top. ✅ Two Types of Permanent Policies: Whole Life: Conservative, dividend-based, great for self-lending Universal Life: Market-invested, higher growth potential ✅ Tax Advantages: Money grows tax-free inside permanent policies, and you can borrow from your cash value with minimal or zero tax (unlike RRSPs, which are 100% taxed at withdrawal). ✅ Get Insured Young: Health changes, medical records, and age all impact premiums. The younger and healthier you are when you get insured, the better your rates—and they're locked in for life. ✅ The MIB Knows Everything: The Medical Insurance Bureau has access to all your medical records. Even minor health events (like imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums. ✅ Inflation is Real: The average Canadian couple will need $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably. If your money is only growing at 2.5%, you're just keeping up with inflation—not building wealth. ✅ Self-Lending Strategy: Permanent policies allow you to build a "personal bank" you can borrow from for major expenses, investments, or helping family—without traditional loan approval processes. ✅ Transparency Matters: Any advisor should be able to explain exactly where your money is going, how returns work, and provide full paperwork. If they can't, walk away. ✅ Health & Wealth Are Connected: Financial stress impacts your health, and lack of finances prevents you from getting the health support you need. They're not separate—they're intertwined.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland.

Episode 409Taking you back to 3/16/2010 - Continuing the many weeks of “BBQ Round Tables” as requested by fan of the show “Tyler”...this time around we do a competition round table  - Chicken Style - with Kelly Wertz - 4 Legs Up BBQ  (4th in 2009), Joe Amore - Smokin MT. Smokers (5th in 2009) and Troy Black - Learn 2 Q (7th in 2009). The Round table shows were some of the most downloaded shows ever in show history…But if I might be honest as it relates to this particular one…the success of these shows was the free exchange of information by the experts that were on the panel…in THIS show…none of those pitmasters decided to freely share their processes…leading me to be very pissed off…and mandating that, going forward on BBQRT Shows…you had to agree to be 100% open with your complete process of how you did the protein we were discussing…this ended up being the only one that was like this…but I was pissed…and you could hear these guys trying to gauge how much info everyone else was sharing and what they were going to share…Not the way the round tables were supposed to work…and we fixed it!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

In this episode, Howard Kam tackles three burning questions that perfectly capture the chaos of modern adolescence and adulthood. First, he goes off on why saying “excuse me” and “thank you” has somehow become advanced-level etiquette, and why parents need to stop acting shocked when their manners-less kids behave exactly like them. Then he dives into the age-old bathroom-hotbox crisis in high schools—why it's not new, why it's not most kids, and why addiction and escapism deserve more than finger-wagging. Finally, Howard unloads on Amazon Prime and the cult-like devotion to two-day shipping that drains wallets, feeds impulse buying, and fills closets with crap nobody needs. Sarcastic, brutally honest, and filled with tough love, this episode is a three-round rant for anyone trying to navigate kids, classrooms, and consumerism without losing their last shred of sanity.

John and Mike take on Thanksgiving in true Fat Guys with Smokers fashion—and nothing goes according to plan. They kick things off by making whole cranberries in about 10 minutes, which actually works… shockingly well. But from there, chaos sets in. Something wildly unexpected happens (yes, even more unexpected than the laptop dying mid-episode), and the masterclass they record on how to spatchcock a turkey? Never actually records. It's an episode full of triumph, laughter, and some truly tragic sorrow as the guys ride the emotional highs and lows of Thanksgiving prep. And to top it off, they close with some big news about upcoming local happenings for Fat Guys with Smokers. It's messy, it's hilarious, it's heartfelt—pretty much everything you expect from John and Mike during the holidays. #FatGuysWithSmokers #ThanksgivingChaos #SpatchcockFail #CranberrySauce #BBQPodcast #HolidayCooking #KitchenDisasters #BBQCommunity #SmokedTurkey #HolidayEpisode #BBQLife

Get a practical breakdown of Afrezza, the ultra-rapid inhaled insulin, with this comprehensive guide to efficacy, timing, and real-world application. Join Drs. Jeremy Pettus and Steve Edelman—endocrinologists living with Type 1 diabetes—as they reveal why this unique tool is often misunderstood and how to use it effectively to flatten post-meal spikes.In this episode, we move beyond the basics to correct the biggest mistake users make regarding Afrezza dosage. If you've tried this therapy before and felt it "didn't work," the issue often lies in the conversion ratio. We review data from Afrezza MannKind studies (such as INHALE-3) to explain the shift from the old 1:1 ratio to the more effective 1:3 ratio. We also cover why this "rapid-on, rapid-off" insulin is the ultimate solution for exercise and how to navigate insurance coverage and prior authorizations.Topics covered in this episode:The Dosing Fix: Why you often need a higher Afrezza dosage compared to subcutaneous insulin.Speed & Kinetics: How inhaled insulin mimics the body's natural beta cells to clear glucose fast.Lifestyle Benefits: Managing "sticky highs," exercise without crashing, and dietary freedom.Safety & Screening: Spirometry requirements and who should (and shouldn't) use Afrezza.Pediatric Updates: The latest on clinical trials and potential approval for children.Whether you are managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, this episode provides the practical "tips and tricks" you need to determine if Afrezza is the missing tool in your diabetes management kitTimecodes: 0:00 Intro: Inhaled Insulin History 0:59 How Fast is Afrezza?

We all know how important it is to keep those cooking grates clean. On Episode 325 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with Marvin Weinberger, an entrepreneur who's developed a handy and effective tool called the GrillFighter to get the job done. We visit with Marvin about his background as an inventor and why coming up with the GrillFighter was important to him. Marvin's segment begins at the 10:37 mark of the show. After a planned guest declined to come on to talk about a huge victory, we run back one of our favorite segments from earlier this summer with the OG GOAT of BBQ. Conversations with Darren Warth of Iowa Smokey D's always makes me feel smarter and we have an encore segment with Darren at 31:21 a week ahead of his return to the Jack Daniels World BBQ Invitational next week. Charlie Wallace joins us from Grill Guys of Missouri to review the latest from the standout BBQ supply store in Republic. Also, co-hosts Steve and Lyndal also talk about their latest cooking adventures and preview a big weekend ahead. Also in our opening segment, a special tribute to Marty “Sign Man” Prather, a local legend as a sports fan and businessman who flourished in making others happy. Marty was a great supporter of the Tailgate Guys competition efforts at the American Royal World Series of BBQ and, more important, a great friend.  Check out the show in the link below or on your favorite #podcast platform.

Craving to Quit: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Smartphone App–Based Mindfulness Training for Smoking CessationIn this episode, Dr. Jud discusses the results of a pioneering randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of the Craving to Quit app for mindfulness-based smoking cessation. Drawing from the paper Craving to Quit: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Smartphone App–Based Mindfulness Training for Smoking Cessation, by Kathleen Garrison et al., the episode unpacks the impact of app-based mindfulness training on cravings and smoking behavior. While the app did not outperform controls in long-term abstinence, it demonstrated a promising ability to weaken the association between cravings and smoking. Dr. Jud explores the implications of these findings, emphasizing how leveraging mindfulness through technology offers a scalable, accessible option for tackling smoking addiction.Reference:Garrison, K.
