WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 27, 2003-- QT 5, Inc.
(OTCBB:QTFV) today announced plans to introduce the World's first patented
nicotine beverage developed as an alternative to smoking. NICOWATER(TM) is a
clear, colorless and odorless homeopathic nicotinum formula, which contains
approximately 4mg of nicotine, and will be sold in 16.9 Fl. Oz. bottles. The
product is designed to relieve the symptoms of tobacco cravings. NICOWATER(TM)
is suitable for use in public places, including restaurants, airplanes and
office buildings by smokers eliminating second hand smoke

QT 5, Inc. plans to launch NICOWATER(TM) during the second quarter of 2003. The
company has developed an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign targeting
smokers who want to smoke but can't, as well as smokers who can smoke but
shouldn't. According to Steve Reder, president of QT 5, Inc., "Our product
strategy is to utilize contract bottling companies for manufacture and
distribution to all major markets including: retail, pharmacy, convenience
stores, airports, restaurants and bars. We have also assembled a world-class
sales and marketing team that will immediately tap into years of expertise and
equity relationships with a national and regional wholesale broker network."

There are approximately 47 million smokers in the U.S., who spend approximately
$200 billion annually on tobacco and tobacco related products. Management
believes there is a significant market opportunity for tobacco alternative
products that contain nicotine in a convenient, inexpensive medium such as
NICOWATER(TM). Within the first 12 months of the initial product launch, QT 5,
