Driven by the Spirit of Innovation

A publicly held company incorporated in 2001, Wellstone Filter Sciences, Inc. (WFSN.OB) has developed a revolutionary patented breakthrough in filter technology.

Commercial development of the Wellstone Filter has produced a rich, smooth-tasting lower tar cigarette. Official FTC of this filter have been shown to significantly reduce tars and irritating compounds found in tobacco smoke - without removing the compounds that create the pleasurable effects of smoking.

Previous, less effective industry efforts have uniformly failed for one simple reason: because the cigarettes did not taste good. These products did not give the smoker enough of the pleasures of smoking, i.e. taste, which in a cigarette is primarily determined by tar and nicotine levels. Wellstone redefines this formula. The Wellstone Filter reduces the tar and nicotine levels in a novel way, without compromising the fundamental reason people smoke: the enjoyment of satisfying flavor.

Expert test panels concluded that the Wellstone product is superior in flavor and taste than controls.
