(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 02, 2009 ) Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Wellstone Filters (OTCBB: WFLR) applauds the appointment of Dr. Lawrence Deyton as Director of the new Center for tobacco Products. The Center's mission, according to the FDA is to, "use the best available science to guide the development and implementation of effective public health strategies to reduce the burden of illness and death caused by tobacco products."

For more than 15 years efforts have been made to bring tobacco products under FDA regulation. With the change in regulatory climate brought about by the Obama Administration, these efforts came to fruition with the recent passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The legislation grants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate the sale, manufacture, and marketing of tobacco products. Significantly for Wellstone, the legislation provides for a category of reduced risk tobacco products to be evaluated by the FDA and approved for marketing, in much the same way as drugs are approved for marketing.

Wellstone plans on submitting its patented Reduced Exposure Filter as the "best available technology" to the FDA in the weeks ahead.

With likely restrictions on advertising, marketing and packaging, the new legislation will favor companies that are first to market with alternatives offering significant reductions in toxins and carcinogens. The largest players in the tobacco space are Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO), Reynolds American, Inc. (NYSE: RAI), British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI), Imperial Tobacco Group (OTC: ITYBY), Star Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ: STSI).
