What happeneds if you are on birth control and smoke?


im 15 and i smoke ( i know its dumb im trying to stop) and im on birth control. i keep hearing that its bad, what could happen to me?

the birth control is femcon fe

I did it for many many years and I'm fine. The doctors tell you not to because they want the entire world to stop smoking.

I'm not going to defend smoking, that's my personal choice but I also won't say it's good.

But I will say that it doesn't react with the birth control pill, it has nothing to do with it.

What is does is give you bad blood circulation which may cause you problems but that's a different issue.
i think your more prone to blood clots, which can be serious.
You are at increased risk for thrombosis (blood clots). Blood clots can cause, strokes heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, leg pain, ischemic bowel disease.

In someone your age you are at a slightly increased risk as you get older the risk increases. Women over 35 should not take birth control pills if they smoke.
Your prone to blood clots. I started taking birth control on 3/16/2007 and on 4/30/2007 I was Rushed to the hospital with A pulmonary Embolism (blood clots in the lungs).....And I don't smoke or drink. I almost died. STOP SMOKING it could save your life...

The peron who answered above me who said it won't give you blood clots.....sorry but it does Im living proof and Im only 24 and had never taken birth control and completly healthy. Talk to your GYNO
experience
yes, it can make you sick depends on age and your health like in some women it can cause a higher risk in Cancer.
