Kentucky “No Spit” All-Star Pledge  

I, __________________________________play baseball for _________________ and I pledge not to use smoke or smokeless tobacco on or off the baseball field.  Tobacco use is bad for my health and does not make me a good role model.       I understand that tobacco contains more than 46 agents known to cause cancer.  These cancer-causing agents are in the following:

                  ·        cigarettes and cigars;

·        cigarette and cigar smoke;

·        and all forms of smokeless tobacco, including:

o       spit;

o       snuff;

o       and chew.  

I understand that in the short term, using tobacco will adversely affect

·        my ability to run fast;

·        the quality of effort I can make toward playing the game;

·        how I smell as well as my ability to taste and smell;

·        and will stain my teeth and fingers
