Remember When New Dads Handed Out Cigars At The Hospital

I remember getting some of those when we had our babies. People actually handed out pink and blue chocolate cigars when twins were born. It was a whole thing. But then you realize why it stopped. We do not smoke in hospitals anymore which makes total sense. And we all know now that smoking causes cancer so it really would not be appropriate for doctors to be handing out real cigars in the maternity ward. Especially when you think about how easily germs could spread if someone did not wash their hands after smoking. #ParentingTraditions #Childbirth #Nostalgia #Throwback #HospitalLife #PublicHealth #NewParents #OldSchool
