JUPITER, Fla. — Chew and rue.
Mayor Bill de Blasio may sign a bill next week that would ban smokeless tobacco at ticketed sporting events, which would include games at Citi Field and Yankee Stadium. Fans and players would be affected.
“This is going to make a lot of guys not too happy,” one Mets player said Thursday.
A smokeless tobacco ban already has been enacted in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston. Fines could be similar to those for smoking in prohibited areas in New York.
