Birth control and smoking


does smoking only pertain to tobacco or is it marijuana and any other kind of smoking also that can affect you while on the pill

Answers:    The nicotine within cigarettes can disturb the synthetic hormones in birth control pills. I don't think there's any evidence that marijuana will affect it. It is highly important that you do not smoke tobacco cigarettes, however. They will increase your chance of heart attack, blood clots, and cervical/breast cancer down the road from immediately. Also, your physician can eventually deny you care if you don't stop smoking (similar to how a physician can deny you care if you smoke while you're pregnant).

Otherwise, enjoy fun and remember to use a condom every time because birth control doesn't protect against STIs..
Primarily tobacco. That's because of the elevated risk of blood clots when nicotine is combined with female hormones. Note, however, that marijuana is estrogenic so could possibly also increase the risk. You might want to look at the prescribing information to see if marijuana is contraindicated or ask your doctor. Yes, any description of smoking while on the pill could make you more prone to heart attacks and strokes. .
Any type of smoking.
