MLB Supports California Bill That Would Ban Tobacco At Ballpark

A bill set to be introduced in the California state legislature would ban the use of smokeless tobacco in major league ballparks, an initiative that Major League Baseball says it supports. Chewing tobacco has been a ubiquitous, if unattractive and unhealthy part of life in MLB and other levels of baseball for as long as anyone can remember. Roughly one-third of major leaguers partake in some form of smokeless tobacco, which has been banned in the minor leagues (with dubious success) since 1993.
