Baseball and tobacco have long been linked. But this relationship might soon be a thing of the past, at least in California’s five Major League Baseball parks. This week, Assemblymember Tony Thurmond proposed a statewide ban on smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco and e-cigarettes at all baseball venues. In San Francisco, a supervisor proposed a similar citywide ban.

Guests:

Debra Saunders, columnist for The San Francisco Chronicle

Tony Thurmond, state assemblymember (D) representing District 15

Matthew Myers, president of Tobacco-Free Kids
