Ultra low dose birth control safer for a smoker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quit smoking: All smokers have an increased risk for heart problems if they takebcp. The risk increases with the patient's age, but I am unaware of studies looking at dosage risk. The best course is to quit smoking. Please see your physician for help in doing so.
