By a vote of 44 to 3 the New York City Council passed a bill that would prohibit the use of smokeless tobacco at all ticketed sports arenas and recreation areas including Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Madison Square Garden and more.

Michael Davoli, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) New York Metro director of government relations released the following statement.

“The New York City Council today acted on a strong measure that not only protects the health of New Yorkers, but also sends a message reminding all New Yorkers of the dangers of tobacco use.

“As we approach opening day for baseball season the bill passed today is a common sense step in the fight against deadly tobacco. Despite significant reductions in smoking rates, tobacco use continues to be the number one cause of preventable death in the United States. Even as youth smoking declines, smokeless tobacco use remains steady despite being directly linked to oral and throat cancer.

“Enjoying a baseball game as a family shouldn’t bring with it the potential risks of a lifetime of addiction for New York’s youngest fans. New York can send a strong message to all kids by once and for all eliminating tobacco use on and off the field.

“ACS CAN looks forward to the enactment of this legislation.”
