HGH Testing and Tobacco Ban in MLB

     Some House Democrats are saying that the MLB and their players should be tested for Human Growth Hormones (HGH) and ban chewing tobacco.  The Democrats said that the drugs would affect game play and the inspired teenagers would love their baseball players. The NFL has agreed to test for HGH, too.  I think that the MLB should test for HGH and maybe even ban it. A person is good as their normal condition is my opinion. For example, if you take steroids, you are stronger, but without steroids, you would not be as strong. Without HGH the players would be at their normal human standard. Tobacco, of course, should be banned because it could give cancer, and the cancer the patient receives is not pretty.  This kind of chewing tobacco will not cause lung cancer, I assure you. It will cause oral cancer, though. Quitting tobacco is tough, so banning it may result in the removing of some players.  
The addiction of tobacco is almost equivalent to a child's addiction to candy. If a teenage fan of a baseball player finds out his model is chewing something bad, he's not going to be happy at all. Overall, I agree to the opinions of the representatives because they are just plain right. For more information, please go here.
