集中注意力 我愛嚼菸草
記者梁峰榮/專題報導】
棒球員的精神糧食是什麼?不是酒、香菸、檳榔,也不是書本,而是大聯盟棒球文化之一的菸草。台灣球員抽菸、吃檳榔要罰,唯獨嚼菸草,有助於集中注意力,不罰,不過最近台灣菸草嚴重缺貨,球員叫苦連天。
嚼菸大致分為兩種,一種以圓形塑膠扁盒裝,包裝看起來很像鞋油,內含物是切細、加料的菸草,不能咀嚼,只能放在唇齒之間;另一種以塑膠袋包裝的菸絲較大,可以淦配口香糖嚼食。
嚼食菸草習慣的台灣職棒球員不少,不過國內並無菸草代理商,想嚼菸草,得拜託朋友從美國帶回、寄回,或到嘉義、高雄兩家洋菸酒專賣店購買,但台灣售價高昂,幾乎是美國產地的兩三倍,且經常缺貨。
一名球員指出,台灣賣得貴,是因為這兩家菸酒專賣店也是委託親朋好友、留學生帶貨回台灣,數量有限。

In 1991, minor league baseball banned the use of smokeless tobacco at the
rookie level and in 1993 extended the ban throughout all of minor
leagues. Off the field use of tobacco was banned at all minor league
clubhouse sites in 1994. While Major League Baseball once banned the
use of smokeless tobacco at the All-Star game in 1997, a league-wide
ban at all games faced opposition from the players’ union. MLB
encourages players not to carry tobacco tins or “cans” in their
pockets during a game so that they are visible to impressionable
children, but (as of now) the use to tobacco itself during a televised
game is not prohibited though there are recurring pressures to do so.
1997 年 明星賽開始,MLB就把菸草給禁了,但是選手協會抗議,所以現在只要在電視轉播的比賽,都不能吃菸草。
