ALP is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch brand founded in the United States in late 2024, as a joint venture between Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB) and the Tucker Carlson Network. In July 2026 it launched across eleven European markets, with sales run by UK-registered ALP Supply Co Ltd and production support from a manufacturing partner in Lithuania. The brand is known for its moisture-rich pouch format and a small, focused range of mint and fruit flavours.
ALP was founded in the United States in late 2024 as a 50/50 joint venture between Turning Point Brands, a Kentucky-based alternative nicotine company, and the Tucker Carlson Network. The brand initially operated as a US direct-to-consumer business before moving into American retail, where it quickly gained traction. It then expanded into Europe in July 2026, with an initial rollout across the UK, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, and Romania, followed by further markets over the following months.
In Europe, ALP is distributed by ALP Supply Co Ltd, a UK-registered entity, with a manufacturing partner based in Lithuania supplying pouches for the growing European market. Rather than launching a wide catalogue, ALP has kept its European range deliberately small: eight flavours split between mint and fruit profiles, each available at two nicotine strengths. The brand describes its identity around a moisture-rich pouch formula built for a soft, steady, even release of flavour and nicotine from the first pouch in the can to the last.
Beyond the product itself, ALP has said it directs a share of its sales toward a small set of causes, including tree-planting initiatives, care for retired military dogs through the Warrior Dog Foundation, and trade-school scholarships. The brand is positioned for existing adult nicotine users rather than as a starter product, and is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or anyone under 18.
ALP nicotine pouches are tobacco-free and designed for discreet use under the upper lip. Available in 1 format:
ALP pouches come in two nicotine strengths per flavour, 6mg and 12mg per pouch (12mg/g and 24mg/g), giving users a mild option and a moderate-to-strong option without needing to switch flavours to change strength.
Mint & Ice
Fruit & Berry
Each flavour is available at both strengths, so users can pick a flavour first and adjust the nicotine level afterwards.
ALP pouches use an all-white format, meaning the pouch material itself is white rather than tobacco-brown, made from:
Store cans in a cool, dry place; ALP states a shelf life of up to 12 months under those conditions. The moisture-rich formula gives a soft, steady feel throughout use, and because the pouches are all-white and tobacco-free, they carry a lower risk of tooth staining than traditional tobacco-based products.
