Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SFIO), an established international distributor of e-cigarettes announced today through its President and CEO Thomas Schroepfer, that "the Company is receiving offers from distributors in the U.S. market for its for nicotine and non-nicotine products, on the heels of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit affirming a lower court's decision that the FDA was wrong when it blocked a shipment of e-cigarettes from entering the U.S. in 2009; rather, they are to be regulated simply as tobacco products.
The Company had already begun its marketing program for sales and distribution in the U.S. marketplace for its domestically produced non-nicotine product lines, and our attorneys are working to have the company do what is necessary for SFIO to comply with tobacco product regulations for its nicotine products from abroad as well as domestic production currently being set up."
Mr. Schroepfer also revealed that "In my recent conversations with the management of AHN Biotechnologie GmbH, our European supplier of our filters utilizing patented and proprietary nanotechnology to safely imbed controlled amounts of Nanobead-Flavour-Nicotine-Solution into the filters according to the DIN EN ISO9001:2000 standards (along with a number of new variety nicotine flavors), AHN has expressed enthusiasm in moving forward to elevate their production of complete mouthpieces for SFIO's high tech cigarettes to ship to SFIO's international and domestic production and final assembly facilities. Mr. Schroepfer declared that the lifting of the U.S. ban on e-cigarettes by the Appellate Court has inspired the SFIO team and all of its affiliates into action to seize this opportunity domestically and internationally to create breakthrough revenues and profits for SFIO, its shareholders, and for everyone associated with SFIO production and distribution."
