Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a recent "IMPAULSIVE" podcast, hosted by and Mike Majlak, Tana Mongeau was frank in talking about influencer boxing, her complicated allegiances, and the backstage alliances that continue to shape her reality. Tana Mongeau goes behind the scenes on Corinna Kopf, influencer boxing and messy friendship with Jeff Wittek YouTuber Tana Mongeau, famous for her unrestrained streams and podcast 'Cancelled', again hit the headlines when she discussed personal scandals on a recent podcast. The 26-year-old has admitted that she almost participated in influencer boxing, a trend that was once hot but is now dying out, and once even contemplated taking on influencer Corinna Kopf in the ring, though this now seems more of a joke than a possible bout. 'People wanted me to go at it with Corinna,' said Tana Mongeau to Logan Paul and Mike Majlak in the IMPAULSIVE podcast, referencing the excitement of an earlier appearance by Corinna Kopf on the same program. 'I remember that time. She came on this show. I think she would say, 'Would you still want to fight Corinna?' But like, I do love watching two grown men just duke it out. Like, I love watching a good fight. I do. So I would love, I wish everything in my face wasn't fake. ' In refusing the suggestion, Tana Mongeau complimented the controversial world of influencer boxing for its entertainment but conceded it's lost some of its sparkle. Rather than fighting with Corinna Kopf, who also rose to fame early on from David Dobrik's Vlog Squad and has since established herself as a successful streamer and content creator, Mongeau pondered the idea of working with her instead. 'It's a little gimmicky. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But also, is that beef still? Cause I think I could see you guys doing a clam collab instead. Like, think about like it's bikini bottom. It's like we're in SpongeBob. Like dude, imagine if you two did some crazy shit,' she joked, suggesting a creative partnership over conflict. TANA MONGEAU ON FIGHTING CORINNA KOPF The discussion soon turned to the deeper, more intricate relationships of the group, including Jeff Wittek and David Dobrik. Mongeau was frank about her continued struggle to balance friendships with both parties of the now-famous crane injury accident. She acknowledged that although she still has Jeff Wittek's back, she doesn't agree with cutting people off simply because of where they came from. 'Corinna's been a subject in the Jeff thing, because I do love, I do love her. I do love Corinna. Jeff's come around to it because it's just like, dude, if you have to write off anyone who's ever associated with someone that hit you in the head with a crane, it's like a lot of people. And dude, Corinna has always been really good to me, but it is like not to go to Jeff's defense crazy and like, whatever, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't know my respect for all of them... It's hard. I'm wondering if Dobrik, I mean, they all say that if he didn't have the money and he didn't have the fame and he didn't have the power, they would still be there," she revealed, noting that she and Jeff recently had a heart-to-heart regarding emotional reciprocation in their friendship. Despite the dirty history, Mongeau said that she wanted to stay on good terms with individuals who've been kind to her, no matter what their involvement in bigger scandals. She further shared that she will be heading off to Hawaii for some downtime before launching her upcoming sold-out tour in Australia. "I am going to Hawaii right now just to chill," she shared. "We're about to tour Australia, but I think it's completely sold out. Australia is the coolest place on the planet. This is kind of my last tour on the touring world, at least for 2025, maybe a little bit of 2026. So exciting."

What is Zyn the tobacco product that Gen Z may be using to replace vapes
The impending disposable vape ban may make it harder for nicotine-addicted Brits to access there favourite hit - however, the rise of Zyn may be providing an enticing alternative Disposable vapes are set to be banned in the UK this summer and Gen Z are scrambling to replace their favourite fix. Now Zyn, a product promising a faster 'buzz', and a surrounding black market, may be providing an attractive alternative. Coming into force on June 1, the sale of all single use vape products will be banned in the UK. This applies to both online and in person retailers and to all disposable vapes – regardless of whether they contain nicotine or not. According to the UK .gov website, the act has been put in place to cut down on litter and the waste of critical resources. But one group is being disproportionately affected: and that's Gen Z. According to research by University of College London, almost a third of 18-24-year-olds say they use e-cigarettes, like disposable vapes have – a number that has drastically increased from just 9% in May 2021. This also correlates with a mass flooding in the market of single-use vape products, like Mary Janes and Elf Bar. Theoretically, the upcoming ban will make it harder for them to access their favourite fruit-flavoured nicotine hit. But for those seeking a buzz, there is a new product already seeping into the market – 'zyn'. But what is it? It's a Swedish nicotine pouch, designed to be placed under a user's lip and against their gum. The idea is that it allows nicotine to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the soft mucous membranes of the mouth. It also gives you a much stronger hit. Where the average vape will allow about 20 mg of nicotine to be absorbed, 'zyn' can range from 6 mg to 20 mg. However, some products contain as much as 50 mg – five times stronger than a cigarette. The nature of its absorption also means it will deliver nicotine to your blood system faster. Based on a market report, 92 million of these nicotine pouches were sold in the UK in 2022, with sales increasing by a further 55% in 2023. You can pick them up at supermarkets like Sainsbury's or order them from online retailers. The fact that they're discrete, easy to find and provide a strong hit could make them a viable replacement for Gen Z nicotine addicts. Last year, 23-year-old YouTuber Emma Chamberlain – known for her relatable vlog-style content – went viral for posting a picture using the product. More recently, 26-year-old LA influencer Tana Mongeau – who has a global TikTok following of 8.7 million – opened up about her struggles with nicotine addiction. 'I cannot get myself to go cold turkey with this s--t,' she said. One of the top-liked comments said 'girl get on them zyns'. However, as some comments pointed out, nicotine pouches can be equally as dangerous and potentially even more addictive. People might think they're a safer option to smoking since they don't contain tobacco. However, as Dr Donna Shelley, professor and vice dean for research at the New York University School of Global Public Health, told NBC News, they aren't necessarily safe. Dr Shelley said: 'Some of the negative health effects of the nicotine pouches include gastrointestinal symptoms, like nausea, gum soreness and ulcers, and also some cardiovascular risks like elevated heart rate." She added, 'We don't know the full safety profile yet.' Plus, there is an even darker side. A significant portion of nicotine pouches being sold are unregulated, with no laws in place to stop them from being bought by children. According to a BBC report earlier this year, there has been a rise in the amount of illegal nicotine pouches being sold in the UK. They found that Trading Standards teams in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Dorset made more than 1,500 seizures in the past year. The Oxfordshire team also told the BBC that it was seeing a "significant growth" in illegal pouches containing potentially dangerous levels of nicotine.
