Smokeless Tobacco is still a part of baseball for those who love the game.

As disappointing as the Cubs’ run in the World Series every year was, smokeless tobacco is a big part of baseball.

Major League Baseball has asked its players not to repeat a bad habit that is as old as baseball itself. However, there is another history to consider — one that has tied the two together in America’s hearts and minds.

This raises the question: Could there be life without smoking?

We must look at the history and interdependence of smokeless tobacco to reach a conclusion.

When baseball first gained its footing in America in the mid-1800s chewing tobacco was very popular. Baseball players used it for pure pleasure. Players soon discovered the benefits of using smokeless tobacco products. This included creating more saliva in the mouth and a less dusty environment. This enabled players to moisten the gloves with spit.

It was also a boon for the smokeless tobacco industry, as cigarettes, which were threatened by smokeless tobacco companies in early 20th-century, were attributed to fatigue among players. This was how snuff (and chew) continued to gain ground.

“Chewing tobacco is a tradition in baseball,”Everett Dickson is the CEO of FLASR. FLASR makes accessories for smokers. “It’s a part of the game, seeing a pitcher or hitter at bat with a small piece of tobacco tucked into his cheek. Having said that, we also understand the concerns of the general public, and support any decision by policymakers and Major League Baseball.”

However, until then FLASRPlayers and others who smokeless tobacco should be aware that there are discreet products available to help them with their messy and inconvenient aspects.

FLASR’s portable, pocket-sized spittoon is one example. It has an advanced locking mechanism that ensures it remains closed even when not being used. This eliminates the risk for spills and leaks that are common with cups or bottles. FLASR’s reusable spittoons feature the Thumb Lock Twist Cap that makes it easy to use one-handed. It is ideal for taking snuff or chewing into the bullpen on long road trips.
