Most youth leagues prohibit tobacco use by anyone associated with the game -- coaches and umpires included.
Tobacco is also forbidden by major league baseball and the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues for all minor leagues. The "tobacco ban" policy takes up three pages in the PBUC manual. (7.27)

Hooray!

Major League players on rehab with a minor league are exempted from the rule.

Boo!

My association forbids umpires from using sunflower seeds during a game.

Hooray!

State law forbids any tobacco on any "school" field or stadium.

Horray!
