Wellstone to Target South American Markets

Wellstone to Target South American Markets 


DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 10  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wellstone Filters (OTC:WLSF)
(BULLETIN BOARD: WLSF)  announced that as a result of the issuance of South
American patents on its proprietary filter formulation, it is preparing to
market Wellstone cigarettes in South America, with emphasis on the large
markets in Brazil and Argentina. Argentina has about 12 million adult smokers,
or about 40% of the adult population, and Brazil 31 million adult smokers, or
31% of adults, according to the World Bank. Substantially all the market share
in South America is held by two large multinational tobacco companies.
Wellstone's strategy in South America is to exploit niche markets by employing
its patented filter not only for discount lines but also for a premium brand.
The entry into the South America market is part of Wellstone's goal to be the
largest of the independent manufacturers.

Wellstone believes that its patented filter formulation removes tars and
certain carcinogens, 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.
