What You Need To Know About Tucker Carlson’s Nicotine Pouch Brand…
- Celebrity Approved – Mel Gibson & RFK Jr. use them, and yes, Tucker Carlson’s behind the brand.
- Better Flavors – ALP keeps it simple with Mountain Wintergreen & Chilled Mint, but they taste way better than ZYN’s muted line-up.
- All-Day Comfort – Pouches aren’t too moist, last for ages, and don’t mess with your gums.
- Bulk Ammo Can Deal – 800 pouches / 40 tins packed in a real U.S. military ammo can (collector’s item vibes).
- Value – Bulk order once, forget about running out for months.
On, Zyn, Rogue, Velo, Grizzly. There’s a lot of new nicotine pouch brands on the market right now. But only one brand is used by both Mel Gibson and RFK Jnr.

And that brand is Tucker Carlson’s Alp nicotine pouch brand. Since 2023, we’ve been big advocates of nicotine pouches as a great NRT for quitting smoking and even cutting down on or stopping vaping.
Are Alp Pouches Any Good?

I used nicotine pouches to cut down on my vaping by as much as 90% at the start of 2024. Nowadays, I vape at the weekends, when I’m out with my buddies or at parties or gatherings.
In the week, I use nicotine pouches. And since the start of 2025, my go-to brand has been Alp Pouches. My flavour of choice? Mountain Wintergreen.
I like Alp’s flavours, the packaging, and the quality of the pouches: they’re not too moist and they hold their flavour for ages. They also don’t mess with my gums like some other brand’s pouches do.

They have some excellent bulk offers as well, so when you find the flavour you like, in my case that’d be Mountain Wintergreen, you can bulk order a load and not have to think about it again for several months.
And because I’m now basically all in on nicotine pouches (and nicotine toothpicks as well), I tend to do a few bulk orders a year. Right now, I’m working my way through my second bulk order with ALP.
We love nicotine pouches, and we’re here to share that love. Our mantra, “A Better Time,” isn’t just a tagline, it’s a promise. Better products, better experiences, and a genuine commitment to a better world. That’s why a portion of every sale goes to real causes, not political players. Simple, honest, and yes, better.
Unlike big corporations, we believe in keeping it real. While we’re confident you’ll love ALP as much as we do, our products are crafted specifically for adult nicotine users. We’re not here to recruit new users, so if nicotine isn’t already your thing, don’t let ALP be the reason to start.
Alp leans pretty hard into the anti-corporate vibe in its marketing but the fact of the matter is that it is partly owned by Turning Point Brands, one of the US’ biggest tobacco alternative corporate entities. I mean, these guys are traded on the stock exchange.
Still, it’s better than being owned and controlled by a big tobacco company like VELO, ZYN and a host of other popular nicotine pouch brands.
Why I Use ALP Instead of ZYN

I’ve already written at length about why I ditched ZYN for ALP but the TL;DR is that ALP’s flavors taste better and, while it does fewer flavors in general, the ones that I like (chilled mint and mountain wintergreen) run rings around ZYN’s muted flavors.
So, yeah, if you’re new to nicotine pouches or have only just started using them and you haven’t found a brand that works for you just yet, give ALP a go. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by just how good they are compared to the 7/11 fodder most people use.
