Major League Baseball and its players' union agreed to ban smokeless tobacco for all new Major Leaguers under the new collective bargaining agreement, according to a report.

The ban does not apply to any player who already has at least one day of Major League service.

As part of the 2012-16 labor agreement, the union agreed that players may not carry tobacco packages and tins in their back pockets when fans are permitted in the ballpark, and players may not use tobacco during pregame or postgame interviews, and at team functions.
