Boston mayor calls ban on smokeless tobacco at ballparks
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh proposes a citywide ban on dip, snuff and chewing tobacco at all city professional and amateur athletic venues to protect youth. Curt Schilling backs the plan, noting his cancer battle from tobacco use, while Red Sox and MLB officials respond with varied support and concern. The ordinance would cover players, fans, and staff, with a $250 fine if approved for enforcement starting April 1.

Cooperation urged to curb antibiotic resistance across care facilities
CDC warns that without coordinated actions among hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities, antibiotic resistant infections could rise up to 10 percent in five years, affecting about 340,000 people annually. The study models show a joint public health effort could avert 619,000 infections and 37,000 deaths, saving nearly $8 billion. Kaiser Health News notes the need for broader reporting and stronger incentives.
