I have been taking birth control for 3 moths now and I love it. My doctor wants to take me off of it for 1 month untill I quit smoking. So, I'm going to stop the pill untill I quit and then go back on it. I just finished all of my "important pills" for this month and about to start my peroid. Will this be the perfect time for me to stop or should I wait a certain amount of time or is it better to stop 1/2 way though or something? I'm not really quite sure.

Stop right when the pack does meaning the very LAST pill...that way it's not cut off in the middle of the cycle or before the end..even tho people think the last week of pills doesn't matter they do..they help keep things regulated...Once you take the last pill don't start the next one the next day...work on quiting your smoking and then once you are ready, you are set to start on that new pack! Good luck! You can do it! =)

I think that you should stop after you finish with the "important pills". The others are just sugar pills to keep you accustomed to taking the pills so you really don't need to take them. I was on birth control for 7 years and I never took the sugar pills.

The pill is not for smokers. If you wish to keep smoking, you can use either an injection, or IUD.

I think that now would be a good time, since the nonimportant pills mostly contain sugar

stop after you take your last inactive pill and you should be fine.
