Wellstone Filter Sciences (OTCBB: WFLR.OB - News) 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."
In addition to enforcing advertising and promotion restrictions, the Center will oversee the FDA’s execution of expanded authority under a new law that allows the FDA to set performance standards and review of premarket applications for new and modified risk tobacco products.
Wellstone plans on submitting its patented Reduced Exposure Filter for FDA review in the weeks ahead.
