How dangerous is it to smoke whilst on the contraceptive pill? -
Im undecided whether to come off of the pill (although it would be really inconvenient) or cut down/stop smoking. I know I should stop smoking and i plan to, but im just wondering for now how dangerous it is while i decide what to do. Thanks. Oh and im 17.Extremely dangerous.Smoking increases your risk of stroke.
If you find that you can-t give up smoking, I would suggest looking at alternative methods of birth control.
Take a look at the Planned Parenthood Web site (link is below) for a list of alternative birth control options for you.
Take care and I wish you well.it actually puts you at a higher risk at getting a blood clot smoking AND taking the pill. i would stop smoking immediately. it will be better for your health, specially at your age, now is the time to quit.Smoking increases the risk of blood clots, especially in women over 35. Smoking will not lower the effectiveness of the pill.smoking alone is dangerous. You don-t need to be on the pill for it to be dangerous.It will increase your chances of DVT and high blood pressure. It-s a good idea to stop smoking.Cigarettes? BAD
Pot? Probably no interactions or nothing seriousSmoking is dangerous in the first place
