LOS ANGELES — Smokeless tobacco products would be banned from all amateur and professional baseball venues in Los Angeles under a proposal that will go before the City Council today.
Councilman Jose Huizar’s proposal would prohibit smokeless tobacco “at all venues in the city of Los Angeles where organized baseball is played, either amateur or professional.”
The baseball games where smokeless tobacco would be banned could include “youth, school and park leagues played at all city stadiums, parks and venues,” according to the motion, which will be heard first today by the council’s Health, Mental Health and Education Committee before going to the full council.
