The value of the company lies in the global patents they hold on reduced exposure
cigarettes. When the FDA Center for Tobacco Policy mandates lee harmful cigarette it will
be WFSN would they have to speak with.

it could be that wfsn is not moving because my paperboy makes more money than these

Sounds like a step in the right direction. The stock has been frozen for a bit. Any news
on other companies in the same space and their relationships with the FDA?

FDA Conference call.
Look like WFSN is getting some traction within the FDA.

There's no investment pure-play on e-cigarettes yet that I know of, but they're definitely
having an impact on big tobacco. The largest e-cig forum is located at
www.e-cigarette-forum.com and worth a look.
I own three different models of e-cigs and love them. I've been stock-piling consumables
(atomizers, batteries) in anticipation of an eventual ban by the FDA. The ban, I believe,
will be more a function of pressure from big tobacco and big pharma (chantix, nicorette,
etc) than any real health concerns. This is definitely a case of "follow the money".
It is my belief that e-cigs are infintely safer than real cigarettes. I'm a former 30+
year, 2 pack-a-day smoker who has finally found something in a cigarette replacement that
works. FDA "approval" is a joke. Common sense dicates that fewer harmful ingredients make
a safer smoke. Until the powers that be find a way to regulate and make money off them,
the FDA will continue to have "concerns" about their safety.

FDA is taking fees from tobacco companies. Hoping the funds are used to he reduced the
effects of tobacco as history tells us prohibition just does not work.

They should be mandating that Tobacco companies integrate reduced exposure products like
those being produced at Wellstone Filter Sciences (WFSN)

Looks like the FDAs ban on flavored cigarettes will ultimately just create more tax
revenue for the gov.

Looks like the HHS is on board with the FDA. According to the HHS, preventing disease is a
critical component of reforming the nation’s health care system. The new HHS initiative
is an important down payment on prevention and sends a powerful message that preventing
disease should be valued as much as treating it. Now it is critical that health care
reform build on this initiative by including funding for prevention and coverage of
smoking cessation services.
This is in essence additional government support of reduced exposure space and WFLR.
