Smoking and the pill.


Question Posted Saturday February 23 2008, 2:07 pm

I've been doing some research on smoking cigarettes while taking oral contraceptives.

If one were to smoke a very little amount (i.e. 1-2 cigarettes a week) while on birth control, would it still be enough to cause harm?

Additional info, added Saturday February 23 2008, 3:04 pm:
I think I should point out that I personally do not smoke.

This isn't about me quitting. I just wanted to know how much a person has to smoke, while on birth control, to actually cause harm.

I don't think it will hurt you. atleast not as much as it would if you were a cronic smoker.
Don't worry about it! Life is to short to worry to much about that stuff.

PS: It's a proven fact that you still have smoke swirling around in your lungs. I personally smoke and so do a lot of people I know. We did this test where we didn't smoke for a few days and then we each took a deep breath, and blew out the air as hard as we could, a lot of us actually had a little bit of smoke blowing out of our lungs. The only way you can stop it is if you quit smoking and your lungs rebuild and heal after a few years. Don't insult my intelligence, okay? Thanks.

Smoking can cause harm in general. Smoking at all affects birth control. You need to decide what is more important to you. Would you rather give up smoking or birth control? Talk to your Gyno about this or whoever prescribed you the pill.

-hope that helped!♥

If you are seriously considering 1 or 2 a week, just quit. the nicotine receptors don't need them...One or two won't make a difference from having them and quitting. And if the pill direction say no smoking, I think they mean NO SMOKING! If there was any chance it could harm you then they wouldn't put it on the package.

Hope I helped if you need anything more you can IM me on AIM at ====> xxAMS15xx
