Episode 53 - ZYN (new trend) vs Dip (old school)

In this episode, we explore how the FDA's recent approval of Zyn nicotine pouches is changing military habits. With these pouches becoming popular, the traditional 'spitter' bottles used for chewing tobacco might become a thing of the past. I'll discuss what this shift means for service members and reflect on the role of 'spitters' during the Global War on Terror and speculate on a potential change in the regulation to accommodate for the "new trend." Join us as we say goodbye to an old tradition and welcome a new era.
