Wellstone Filters Develops Next Generation Filter Compound for Launch DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wellstone Filters (OTC:WLSF) (BULLETIN BOARD: WLSF) is pleased to announce that months of scientific research have borne fruition in the formulation of the next generation of its proprietary filter compound. The original formulation was a liquid which treated a standard cellulose acetate filter. The original formulation was further developed in granulated form so that it could be inserted in a cavity filter. Wellstone has recently been able to draw upon some of the preeminent experts in the field to develop this new formulation of its compound. The benefit of this next generation of Wellstone's patented filter compound is that it is easier, more efficient and cost effective to manufacture and also more precise and versatile in the manner it can be deployed in the filter. Wellstone intends to use the next generation of its compound in its Wellstone brand of cigarettes expected to be launched in April. Wellstone believes that its patented filter formulation removes tars and certain carcinogens, with the aim of reducing smoking deaths, while providing better taste. However, any claim as to the benefit of any Wellstone cigarette to be sold will be made within the parameters prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission. Wellstone emphasizes that NO cigarette is safe. This corporate communication by Wellstone is not intended to induce any person to purchase future Wellstone tobacco products. ABOUT THE COMPANY Wellstone Filters, Inc. has developed and patented filter material that removes certain carcinogens and other toxins produced when tobacco is smoked -- without removing the compounds thought to be associated with the pleasurable effects of smoking.
