No tobacco on a HS field for me either. That just puts another bullet in the opposing coaches gun about "you only enforcing the rules you want to."

Used to be a wink here too. Not anymore. I used to dip Skoal for all games. So did the coaches. So did the players. So did a lot of the moms
 Heck, if I didn't have any with me, I'd bum a dip from a coach or player. Once FED started their clampdown on it, I stopped doing it immediately and switched to gum. For the past 12 years or so, the baseball fields here have a sign on the backstop fences stating that tobacco possession or use on campus is prohibited. For adult baseball, I used to chew Redman or Levi Garrett. Never was a seed guy, as I am so uncoordinated that half the time I spit the seed and swallow the hull. I stopped using tobacco products altogether in March 2005, and haven't had the desire since. It's one of the best things I've ever done in my life. In fact, I can't even stand to smell cigarette smoke within 100 feet of me.

Especially at the FED level, the umpires or coaches shouldn't be violating a FED rule. Around here, if reported to the state, it would probably earn a letter of reprimand or possibly a suspension...probably the same for a coach. Players, absolute ejection...in MN, tobacco use is not different than cracking a can of beer in front of you. For a player in MN, the 1st chemical violation is a two week or two game suspension (which ever is greater)...for baseball, that could be six games or roughly 1/3 to 1/4 of the regular season.
