In 2025, 17 U.S. Ballpark's have committed to TOBACCO FREE stadiums. Proposal looks to ban chewing tobacco, ZYN at pro stadiums.

Article Summary:

• In 2025, 17 U.S. Ballpark's have committed to TOBACCO FREE stadiums.
• It's part of a national effort driven by Knock Tobacco Out of the Park to sever the long-standing link between baseball and chewing tobacco.
• Student athletes and other kids imitate their pro baseball role models, the campaign's leaders say.
• The ban includes use by fans, players and team personnel.
• Cigarettes and Vapes are already prohibited.
• Those who refuse to obey are guilty of a misdemeanor punishable on first offense with a fine up to $100.

For clarification: Please keep in mind that these articles, related to banning Tobacco and ZYN,  and even mentioning the two products in the same sentence, is inaccurate, at best. ZYN does not use Tobacco in their products and there is a MASSIVE difference between chewing tobacco and a synthetic nicotine pouch. Furthermore, ZYN should take the mentioning of ZYN as being banned at 17 ballparks as complimentary, given the fact that Philip Morris owns a significantly large portion of the global nicotine pouch business, expected to exceed $25 Billion by 2030. We wonder why there is no mention of VELO, Rogue, ON!, ALP, etc. Again, our compliments to ZYN.

Threat level: Chewing tobacco exposes users to lower levels of harmful chemicals than cigarettes, but can still cause cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

Knock Tobacco Out of the Park says in a press release it has support from the Detroit Tigers. A spokesperson confirmed to Axios that Ilitch Sports + Entertainment supports the effort to protect public health.

Zoom out: MLB's 2016 collective bargaining agreement banned smokeless tobacco for new players.

• Kevin O'Flaherty, associate VP of state and local advocacy for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids — a partner in the national effort — says he hopes with enough local policies banning it, the league and union will remove it from the game.

The intrigue: Passing this ordinance would make Comerica Park the 18th MLB stadium out of 30 to become entirely tobacco-free.

• According to O'Flaherty, Detroit would be the first of the campaign's local policies to ban addictive, tobacco-leaf-free nicotine pouches like Zyn, which have become increasingly popular.

We believe there is a better way altogether for nicotine users to achieve their level of satisfaction without the potential risks and known health related issues from smoking  ...how about NO HARMFUL INGREDIENTS INHALED INTO A NICOTINE USERS LUNGS. Period. "ZERO." www.Air2vapor.com

So, what about education related to the potential harm from Nicotine Pouches. Article from the The New York Times.

At Air2, we believe there is a better way to achieve TRUE nicotine reduction and reduce greatly the risks associated with Vaping harmful chemicals.  VaporEFX
