HARBIN, China , February 1, 2012 (press release) – China Kangtai Cactus Biotech Inc. CKGT 0.00% , a vertically integrated grower, developer, manufacturer and marketer of a variety of cactus-based products in China, announced today that it has developed a new technique to apply to its cactus-based cigarette product.

The company has successfully developed a new production technique for its popular cactus-based cigarette in order to further improve quality and taste and made it even more appealing for smokers. The company is adding ten percent more of its proprietary cactus material along with additional Chinese herbs to make the cigarettes less harmful.

Our cactus-based cigarette already has been widely accepted by Chinese consumers. Research shows there are over 350 million cigarette smokers in China alone. To increase our penetration of this market, we are improving the taste of our product in a way that makes it even closer to the regular cigarette taste that smokers enjoy. The technology we are using represents a further breakthrough for our company and we expect our cigarette products to become even more popular among cigarette smokers."
