Smoking weed/cigarettes while on birth control as a minor?!


Question: Smoking weed/cigarettes while on birth control as a minor?
Okay so I'm 15 years old and I just got birth control pills yesterday. My doctor had asked me if I smoke and since my mother was in the room I said that I didn't. I went home and looked up if weed and cigarettes would effect it in any way and I didn't really get a clear answer.
So, I was wondering like what the risks were. I am not a heavy cigarette smoker. I am a social one so I just take like a couple hits almost every school day and then like one or two full ones a week and I smoke weed like two times a month.
**Also, I would appreciate if I didn't get lectured about how bad smoking is for you, thanks.

smoking while on the pill increases your risk of heart problems. smoking is just a bad idea period, stop poisoning yourself.



while smoking on birth control increases the chance of blood clots, stroke and heart problems, you are probably okay if you're accurately describing your smoking habits. generally, women who smoke 15 cigs or more a day are advised to say off hormonal birth control pills. my doctor gave me the nuva ring, and i smoke approximately six cigarettes a day.

try and quit, yeah? will save you a lot of money in the future.



they can increase risks of heart problems but you can counteract these things since you are young. just look up ways to improve your heart. try incorperating more cardio into your daily routine and eat healthier food. Im not going to give you any of that "its bad for you" **** because i do the same thing (apart from the birth control of course)



smoking can make anything worse but over a long period of time, not instantly. Smoking while on birth control is only a problem if your over 35. Its not a good idea either way but nothing to really worry about till your in your 30's.. smoking on the other hand ehh.. lol you don't need my lecture. Just be smart on it.
So i think your clear on this, no problems really.



smoking while your on birth control can cause heart attack or stroke but since you sound like you dont smoke much & your also young i wouldnt worry cause that mostly applies to women 35 or older but its still possible when your young just not as likely



Yeah, first, stop smoking. It's a turn off. You should also call your doctor and let her know the truth. I'm surprised she didn't make your Mom leave the room.



OMG dont smoke anymore do you want to hurt yourself more!



yes, don't smoking. You are only 15 years old.
