Well, the case book doesn't specify Big League Chew, but here's the citation:
3.3.1.S While on the bench, two players appear to the umpire to be using tobacco. The umpire discovers that the substance is not tobacco, but a tobacco-like product. Ruling: Both players are in violation of the rule and shall be ejected. Even though the players were not using tobacco, they gave the appearance of using a tobacco product, which is not acceptable.

I know! I know! They were sucking on candy cigarettes! This isn't a ban on Big League Chew, it's a Candy Cigarette rule.
What on Earth does that rule mean? A kid stuffs a wad of gum in his cheek, and the umpire thinks he sees him putting RedMan in his mouth. The umpire approaches the kid, the kid shows him the Big League Chew, and the ump tosses the kid?
Huh?
