TARRYTOWN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--02/24/2004--Wellstone Filters, Inc. (OTCBB: WLSF):

To our shareholders and interested parties we would like to address the following developments for Wellstone Filters, Inc.

As previously announced, Wellstone has acquired new state-of-the-art facilities and under the direction of our Vice President of Research, we believe we will have the next generation of tar and carcinogenic reducing granules by March 15, of this year available to the interested parties for full testing and analysis. Good science takes time; protocols and procedures must be followed.

Wellstone believes there is no safe cigarette and that smoking kills. Wellstone Filters has developed and patented a chemically selective filter that effectively removes carcinogens and other toxins produced when tobacco is smoked -- without removing the compounds responsible for the pleasurable effects of smoking. Wellstone seeks to promote material for cigarette filters that will enable major cigarette manufacturers to provide consumers with an equally enjoyable cigarette with substantially fewer carcinogens. If people must smoke, the Wellstone filter mitigates but does not eliminate the health risks.
