Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, is launching his own nicotine pouch brand, Alp, after criticizing Zyn and its parent company Philip Morris International for political reasons. Carlson accused Zyn of being a 'ladies brand' and claimed it is run by 'humorless, left-wing drones' due to donations to Kamala Harris, although records show that the majority of political donations by the company and its PAC have gone to Republicans. Carlson's comments about Zyn being a male and work enhancer were dismissed by Philip Morris, leading Carlson to start his own brand. Alp will be available in November and promises stronger nicotine options than Zyn. Carlson's venture into nicotine products follows his departure from Fox News and his transition into independent media.
