California Senator wants to ban tobacco from youth sports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out in California, lawmakers and State Senator Richard Pan are trying to introduce a new bill that would change everything in youth sports. No, it doesn’t have to do with goal-scoring or rule changes on the field; instead, it has everything to do with the health and well-being of our next generation of athletes.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers are proposing a bill that would “prohibit cigarettes, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, and other tobacco products<\/a><\/strong> within 250 feet of any game, practice or activity . . . in California where athletes under the age of 18 are present.”<\/p>\n

Now, this may not seem like a big deal, but it really, truly is. For athletes at an impressionable age, professionals aren’t the only role models they need to look up to.<\/p>\n

Parents and adults alike can now help set an awesome precedence moving forward: tobacco isn’t cool. While youth sports athletes look up to Lionel Messi, Mike Trout, and Tom Brady on the field, they’re also prone to the power of suggestion.<\/p>\n

So, simply put, if adults use tobacco products during youth sports games, then they’re basically telling their future athletes that it’s OK as well.<\/p>\n

Pan said: \u201cYouth sports is about promoting good health and athleticism and excellence. We should encourage behaviors that support those goals and discourage ones that don\u2019t.\u201d For us, this is a no-brainer — so we’ll be rooting for this bill all the way! Go California!<\/p>\n
