(FOXNEWS) — As baseball spring training gets underway, it’s more important than ever to highlight the dangers of chewing tobacco, and to implore Major League Baseball, which last year banned players from using it when fans are present, to prohibit its use altogether.
According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 11 percent of high school boys and 1.5 percent of high school girls (6.1 percent of all high school students) use chewing tobacco, also called smokeless tobacco, and it's just as awful for you as smoke-full tobacco.
