An estimated 30 percent of MLB players use smokeless tobacco, but no one on the Yankees or Astros dipped Wednesday during their game in the Bronx.
New York mayor Bill de Blasio signed a law before the game that banned smokeless tobacco use in all New York City sports and recreational areas that issue tickets. New York joins San Francisco, Boston and Los Angeles in implementing such laws, though none of those cities have yet to host a game this MLB season.

"We are taking a huge step forward to ensure that our youth are not exposed to dangerous practices," de Blasio said, via ESPN.
