Stephen Tucciarello, a Republican Monroe County legislator and board member, said the cigar-related expenses are a small price to pay to network with industry executives.
“If these folks were golfers, they would all be going to a golf course,” Tucciarello said. “It sounds like they’re sitting down to drinks and cigars and if that’s what it takes to spend time with top executives, that’s what he has to do.”
Only one board member expressed doubt about the expenses.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Willie J. Lightfoot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a board member and Democratic Monroe County legislator, called them “absurd.”
“There is no reason to be spending that much in smoke shops. Is he smoking crack?” Lightfoot said.
“This may not be an accurate assessment of the situation because it was a snapshot in a long process and I only attended one meeting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” Assunta said. “(But) it was quite clear that the tobacco industry had great influence on some of the members of that technical committee and that it was reflected in the way the congressmen behaved.”

At the four-day conference, attention was inevitably drawn to the lone superpower of the Philippine tobacco industry―the company that resulted from the merger early this year of the global titan Philip Morris and the Lucio Tan-owned Fortune Tobacco, makers of the local brands Hope and Fortune.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
With that union, Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco (PMFTC) was seen cornering up to 90 percent of the domestic market.
In June, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for registered medical marijuana patients, the presence of byproduct metabolites was not proof of intoxication at the time of citation ― although there have been cases where police have charged drivers with medical marijuana cards for the presence of marijuana metabolites other than THC in their bloodstream since then. None of them have made it to trial.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how does ingesting marijuana affect driving? In the past, there was no reason to figure out a level where legal impairment begins. Now medical marijuana patients want to know: How long do I have to wait before I can drive?
