Does the mirena iud have hormones and what r side effects for women over 35 and smoke?

It does have hormones. Personally, I wouldn't consult the US literature, I would read the Canadian pamphlet. There is a ton of information there that isn't listed in the US version. I have had a really bad experience with the Mirena...weight gain, high blood pressure, diminished vision, depression - things which are listed as side effects in the Canadian pamphlet, but not the US.

The pamphlet doesn't mention any risks associated with smoking.

Also, if you have a chance, read my Mirena blog for a detailed list of my experiences:

Mirena DOES contain hormones (similar to that of the shot & implant...levonorgestrel.

Age shouldn't make a difference as long as you're in otherwise good health with no family history of cancer, stroke, heart attacks, DVT. Smoking is not mentioned in the patient info, so you should ask your doctor prior to being fitted.
