Giants Banning Tobacco

By Dr. Ben Pinkston In Miscellaneous April 24, 2015

According to several sources including the Associated Press, the Washington Post and LA Times, San Francisco may well become the very first city in the US to ban chewing tobacco from its playing fields. In the home of the San Francisco Giants, supervisors have unanimously voted “to prohibit the use of smokeless tobacco at athletic venues, specifically singling out baseball, which has a long history of players using spitting tobacco in front of the children who worship them.”

Reports have mentioned tobacco would be banned from the Giants’ ball field, and all other athletic fields throughout the city. The plan is part under tentative approval and still needs to pass a second Board of Supervisors along with being signed by the Mayor, Ed Lee, and if the plan is approved the city would be the very first of possibly many who would follow suit.
