Its ridiculous to think parent use it because formula companies give free samples. If a hospital handed out cigarettes, a lot of people would think that cigarettes must be OK to smoke, despite contrary info they might hear. It's not that getting free cigarettes makes you smoke. I agree that that's ridiculous. But it's an unethical message for the hospital to send and it's bad public health because some people will think it gives them the green light to do something that it would be better they not do. If the cigarette company or the formula producer give you free samples, there's no imprimatur of the medical establishment attached.
