Tucker Carlson to start a nicotine-pouch brand to compete with Zyn

Media personality Tucker Carlson is creating a new nicotine pouch brand, Alp, after cutting ties with Zyn due to political reasons. Carlson criticized Zyn's parent company, Philip Morris, for donations to Kamala Harris, deeming Zyn as more suitable for women. His comments led to a fallout with Philip Morris, prompting him to develop his own product with stronger options. Alp will launch in November, offering four flavors and three strengths. Carlson views Alp as a product free from political influences, unlike Zyn. Philip Morris clarified they do not support presidential candidates, though their subsidiary's political action committee donates to both parties.
