Axios Detroit: Proposal looks to ban chewing tobacco, Zyn at pro stadiums

A new City Council proposal would ban chewing tobacco and Zyn nicotine pouches at Comerica Park and other Detroit pro sports stadiums.

Why it matters: It's part of a national effort driven by Knock Tobacco Out of the Park to sever the long-standing link between baseball and chewing tobacco.

• Student athletes and other kids imitate their pro baseball role models, the campaign's leaders say.

State of play: The proposal sponsored by City Council Member Fred Durhal III would prohibit use of smokeless tobacco, like chewing tobacco and snuff, at all pro sports stadiums.

• The ban includes use by fans, players and team personnel.

• Cigarettes and vapes are already prohibited.
