`
`As far as I know, my colleague still has 30+ cigars available for sale. Do we want to try to purchase more
`cigars from him, or ask him for some contact names at Ruyan to try and purchase some additional cigars?
`I think we should also explore what additional info we need or requirements we must meet to allow
`consumers to smoke/use them to begin to get some opinions/evaluations.
`I am putting together a plan to dissect/analyze the hardware from the pipe and cigar, and will also initiate
`a plan to get some analytical data, e.g., how much nicotine and propolyne glycol are yielded during
`puffing, using some R8iD smoking machines. These data could be used to support an HRRC (Human
`Research Review Committee) proposal to allow limited smoking of these articles by smokers.

`
`This idea scored in the top 5 ranking when we did the vote in Chicago. I also got good feedback about it
`when I showed it to consumer and trade maketing leadership team yesterday in the context of dragins....l
`think we should most certainly proceed with exploratory and even consider how we evaluate dragins
`concept in light of the ruyan prototype. How do you suggest we proceed?

`
`Good Morning:
`
`I visited with my colleague, Steve Dworkin, at Duke yesterday and obtained 2 more electric cigars and 2
`more electric pipes for study here at RJRT. Steve brought these back for me from his recent trip to China
`where he met with executives from the Ruyan Company at their main offices in Beijing. He has direct
`phone numbers for 6-8 of their people who he met and can contact. If we are interested, he will supply us
`names and numbers.
`Some things he shared with me:
`
`The company is located in an exclusive office building in Beijing. He saw one floor occupied by 40-50 folks
`in cubes working telephones and computers. On the perimeter of the floor were 12-15 offices for
`supervisors/excutives. The manufacturing facility is in Hong Kong.
`The biomedical equipment company that Steve consults for ( http://www.med-associates.com/) financed
`the purchase of 80 electric cigars which Steve brought back, intending to sell them (at least initially) to
`researchers in the U.S. One researcher has already purchased 40 cigars and will be seeking an IND

`

`(Investigational New Drug) license from the FDA shortly to allow studying the electic cigars using human
`subjects.
`The Ruyan company plans to issue stock for public sale by the end of the year. Steve did not ask how
`many shares or on what exchange.
`Steve brought back a video disk from Ruyan describing the company and its products for potential
`investors. He did not have the disk in Durham and thought he might have left it at home in Wilmington.
`His sabattical at Duke ends on Sunday and he will be back home in Wilmington next week and will send
`us a copy of the disk when he locates it. If he can't locate it he will obtain another copy from the
`company.
`Ruyan gave Steve a working prototype of their new, smaller electic cigarette. They anticipate the cigarette
`will be commercially available by the end of the year. The cigarette worked quite well and generated
`plenty of aerosol with normal puffing behavior, though to me the "smoke" was milder and had less
`tobacco taste than the pipe or cigar. I've attached some pictures for your info.
`If you have any questions, please give me a call.
`
`Thanks,
`John X-4976
