League Cities: I Support and Tobacco Bans

league cities: I think the smokeless tobacco ban is both logical and I am thankful, Los Angeles Angels reliever Huston Street said in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday night, according to Hamilton Spectator. I understand choice, but choosing to die sooner is not one I support. Players new to the majors wont be able to dip next year without risk of penalty, a provision under baseball tentative five-year labour agreement reached late Wednesday. It is possible more than the 12 current major league cities with laws either in place or headed that way will have tobacco bans by the start of the 2017 season. The new collective bargaining agreement reached last night by Major League Baseball owners and players takes a major step forward in removing tobacco from the game by prohibiting all new MLB players from using smokeless tobacco, like chew, dip and snuff, said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. That what many health experts and advocates in the prevention efforts are hoping for, at least, though they certainly would have preferred a tobacco ban across the board for baseball to set an example for youth and the sport future.
