Wellstone Filters Ships to FTC Testing Facility DURHAM, N.C., Feb.
25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wellstone Filters (OTC:WLSF) (BULLETIN
BOARD: WLSF) announced today that they have shipped their patented
filtered cigarettes to an independent FTC testing facility, for
final testing and fine-tuning of the filter prior to commercial
sale. Wellstone expects to receive the test results by March 15,
2005. CEO L. J. Hand states, "As a result of new efficiencies we
have developed in our formulation, we have found additional
improvements we wish to incorporate in the filter to be employed by
the Wellstone brand cigarettes. Although we were hoping to launch
in early April, we have elected to move back the launch date to May
in an effort to incorporate these efficiencies in our new
formulation." 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 we believe 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. Wellstone seeks to promote material for cigarette filters
that will enable cigarette manufacturers to provide consumers with
an equally enjoyable cigarette with substantially fewer
carcinogens. For more information, please see
