Baseball players should chew tobacco just like runners drink water during long runs.

Chewing-tabacco has been a custom of major league baseball players since it gained height in the 1920's.
Back then, the health issues tabacco causes were not fully understood. We now know that tabacco can cause cancer, burn lungs, and cause hundreds of other problems.

I hope this helps! Stay healthy! :)
