What players chew tobacco in baseball?

Most people i know say that baseball players chew tobacco or something like that, but as a baseball player myself i think its not true because if they do they would come out positive in the drug tests. When i play i ither chew gum or eat flower seeds, but i keep away from tobacco. The MLB does not test for tobacco....it's legal and non-performance enhancing.
