More than 86 percent of current U.S. nicotine pouch users say they are likely to switch to\u00a0the recently launched Alp brand, according to a\u00a0survey\u00a0carried out by online retailer Nicokick. Such a shift would upend the nicotine pouch industry, which is currently valued at approximately $988.4 million and dominated by Philip Morris International\u2019s Zyn brand.<\/p>\n

Alp was launched in November by Tucker Carlson and Turning Point Brands. The conservative commentator touts the product as \u201cthe first nicotine pouch brand made by and for adults who unapologetically love nicotine.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an earlier article in\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, Carlson decided to enter the tobacco business because of the way Zyn manufacturer Philip Morris International responded to an off-color remark he made in 2023 about America\u2019s bestselling nicotine pouch.<\/p>\n

Also in Nickokick\u2019s survey, 41.4 percent of cigarette users and 53.6 percent of cigar users said they would be likely to switch to Alp nicotine pouches. Nearly 55 percent of vapers also said they would be likely to switch.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear the introduction of Tucker Carlson\u2019s brand Alp should have a significant impact on the nicotine market, not only with current pouch users, but also with consumers of other forms of smoking and tobacco products,\u201d said Marina Murphy, senior director of scientific affairs at Nicokick.<\/p>\n

\u201cA shift away from cigarettes, and towards nicotine alternatives like pouches, could have impacts not only on the industry, but on the lives and health of millions of American consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
