You should not smoke and take the pill--especially if you are over 35.

If your birth control is the patch or pills, your chance of developing blood clots is much higher. No studies are available with marijuana, but the retention of Carbon Monoxide is the similar quality of both marijuana and cigarettes, and decreases the ability of your red cells to move oxygen around your body. If you smoke, an IUD might make better sense. They have them for 5 and 10 year programs. Best of all, you don't have to remember to change the patch or take the pill.

you mean there are people willing to have sex with a smoker?
they must be hard-up for sex. The effects of smoking are not covered up by brushing you teeth. You lungs are full of that nasty crap - every time you breath out, you expel some really nasty smells. The chemicals also get into you blood - making your entire body smell. Body fluids get effected eliminating much of the pleasure of "going down" on a woman.
although it may appear that I am just talking trash, i am actually being serious. I have dated a girl who smoked (lightly). And it was quite disturbing.

I've been on bc since I turned 14 (period problems) I started smoking at age 12. I'm 20 now. I just got over cancer that I battled for the past two years. I am now being treated for my first blood clot. I just stopped smoking. I've never smoked marijuana. Please don't learn the hard way. I regret my bad habbit.

ok, at the starting up, it may't be that wide of conceivable, yet by potential of the years it must be slowly lowering the effectiveness of your birth control. also, if it is also achievable to confess to your self, and different 1000's of thousands of people who you in ordinary words smoke for "social causes" then its no longer that significant to you, or your wellness and also you dont want to be doing that on your own body purely because others imagine its cool. Even at circumstances once you could imagine its cool, its no longer, and it fairly wont be cool even as your birth control isnt operating for then you definately you change into pregnant, and commence sharing your undesirable conduct with an unborn baby all because you purely had to be "cool".

Smoking increases the risk of heart attack that already exists with the hormones. I would stop it.
I cannot answer for sure about marijuana. It lacks the nicotine, though.

Yes to both questions, it increases the chance of blood clots and over the age 35 increases it.

Make sure our life insurance is paid up.
But more seriously, dying isn't the problem here, it's the disabling you will encounter in the future.
