But there are probably as many or more people who would disapprove of coaches displaying other vices, such as smoking cannabis or drinking liquor or looking at porn in front of their players, yet there's no Fed rule about doing those. I notice there's not even a Fed rule about nicotine gum (or non-nicotine gum), only tobacco.
