A member asked:
I got a nexplanon implanted today. i smoke cigarettes and marijuana and i also drink, will i be okay? will the nexplanon be less effective?

Lifestyle choices: Nexplanon is a very effective form of birth control but does not protect against STDs/STIs. Both alcohol and marijuana can cloud your judgement and you will want to be very careful to avoid exposing your body to sexually transmitted diseases by using a condom each and every time. Be sure that your lifestyle choices do not leave you exposed.
