Baseball's new labor deal will limit the use of smokeless tobacco by players, but not ban it during games. Some public health groups had sought a ban on use. A baseball union summary says that players have agreed not to carry tobacco packages and tins in their back pockets or use tobacco during pregame or postgame interviews, and at team functions. However, it falls short of the call by some advocates, including members of Congress, who argued that a ban on chewing tobacco and dip during games was needed to protect impressionable kids watching on television. "Our members understand that this is a dangerous product, there are serious risks associated with using it," union head Michael Weiner said. "Our players felt strongly that those were appropriate measures to take but that banning its use on the field was not appropriate under the circumstances."
