Go see your doctor: It appears you are concerned about a new lump in your arm in the setting of being on birth control and smoking cigarettes. Without personally examining you and ordering additional tests, it is impossible for me to say exactly what is happening. However, one concern of smoking and being on birth control is an increased risk for blood clots. You should go see your doctor immediately for guidance.
