Actor Josh Brolin admitted he will sleep with nicotine pouches in his mouth and once had seven cavities due to using nicotine lozenges too often.
Josh Brolin has an affinity for nicotine pouches, and he isn't afraid to talk about it. Brolin, 56, admitted on Marc Maron's 'WTF' podcast that while he gave up chewing tobacco, the pouches have become a constant in his life, and he has them 'all over the house.' 'My wife would hear this in the middle of the night,' he said before mimicking a chewing noise. 'I don't even know I'm doing it. I'm asleep.
Then I started taking them out and putting them on the bedside table.' Nicotine pouches contain a powder made of nicotine, flavorings and other ingredients, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The powder dissolves in the mouth, and nicotine is absorbed through the gums and lining of the mouth. He worried his young children might start picking up the discarded pouches but figured it could be a good learning lesson. 'I don't even know I'm doing it.
They taste like gasoline, and they got a punch to them,' Brolin said of the lozenges. 'I used to keep them up by my … between my gum and my tooth line. I got seven cavities.' He found himself using questionable pouches while filming in the Middle East recently. 'We're in Jordan, and comes up to me, and he says, ‘I have some.' And it has a skull and crossbones on the top … and it's 40 milligram packets,' Brolin recalled. 'And I said, ‘I can't do that.
stick the thing in my mouth for no more, and I swear to God on my kids, for no more than 20 seconds, and I had to cancel dinner that night. I literally was s---ing my brains out. It was f---ing crazy.'
