I got seven cavities. That’s why I switched to this,” The Avengers actor then shared a story about trying a much strong kind of nicotine pouch while in the Middle East. “We’re in Jordan. And [this guy] comes up to me, and he says, ‘I have some,’” Josh recalled. “And it has a skull and crossbones on the top.. And it’s 40 milligram packets. And I said, ‘I can’t do that.’” He continued, “And then one day, I start running out, and I haven’t quite run out, I probably have four or five more tins [of my usual pouches] left. And I have his thing in my pocket, and I’m running back from the gym.” Josh then tried the other tin and said, “I 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 sh–ting my brains out. It was f–king crazy.” After that, Josh ending up paying $300 on the black market for the kind he normally uses. Josh said that he’s become so addicted to them, that he has “them all over the house.” “I’ve started taking them out and putting them on the bedside table,” he continued, adding that he was nervous about the pouches being found by his young daughters. “If [my daughter] puts it in her mouth, she’s gonna get sick. And instead of stopping, I try and teach them, ‘Don’t do that,’“ Josh shared. “Stay away from Daddy’s s–t,” Marc then joked as Josh added, “Daddy needs that.” Last month, it was announced that Josh will be starring in a new thriller alongside Glen Powell!
