Where this comes from

Abstract

Major League Baseball's ban on players and staff using any type of tobacco during minor league games may provide physicians with a timely excuse to discuss smokeless tobacco with young patients. Chewing and dipping remain a significant health problem, especially among young men. Some athletes even associate smokeless tobacco with winning- a misconception that physicians can help eliminate.
