';There are still some unanswered questions about the cancer risks, if any, of using the pill. It appears that the pill decreases the risk of some cancers, while there may be either a very slight increase or no increase in the risk of breast cancer.
Studies have shown that the pill actually lowers the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancers by up to 50%, and some of this protection actually continues even after a woman stops using the pill.
We also know that some studies have found that the Pill is associated with a very small increase in the risk of breast cancer, but other studies have found no increase in the risk of breast cancer. We also know that women who do not have children or have children very late are at a higher risk of breast cancer. For this reason it is difficult to say if this increased risk of breast cancer is caused by taking the pill or if it is caused by the fact that women who take the pill generally postpone having a child. There seems to be no change in risk if the pill is taken longer or with different doses of estrogen and progestin.
The effect of taking the pill on the risk of cervical cancer is still uncertain.';
It's a load of bull. My girl's been on the pill for years, and it does NOT increase your risk of cancer - especially in conjunction with nicotine. I wouldn't recommend smoking, of course, but you're not going to have some horrific synergistic effect where one makes the other a million times worse.Is it tru that taking birth control pilla if u smoke greatly increases the risk of cancer?
You have to worry about blood clots if you smoke and take birth control pills.
';BCPs do carry some health risks. For example, if you are over 35 and smoke or have certain medical conditions such as a history of blood clots or breast or endometrial cancer, your health care professional may advise against taking BCPs...In fact, all healthy women who don't smoke may use birth control pills, regardless of their age.http://www.healthywomen.org/healthtopics鈥?/a>
Avoid smoking cigarettes while taking birth control pills. Smoking greatly increases the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or blood clot.

Yes, even second hand smoke will increase your risk a lot.
There is no interaction between birth control and cigarette smoking that increases your risk for cancer. The risk of this combination is a much higher risk of stroke, blood clots, and other cardiovascular issues.
Smoking by itself with or without birth control hugely increases your risk for cancer, as well as numerous other diseases. (Basically every type of cancer, lung disease, heart disease, decreased fertility, increased infant mortality, osteoporosis, increased risk during surgery, slow healing... the list goes on and on.) It makes very little difference how much you smoke, the risks are still increased a lot.
Just think about what's in a cigarette if you want to know whether or not its bad for your health - carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, polonium - as well as 11 agents proven to cause cancer.
There are immediate benefits to quitting smoking. Your circulation returns to normal in 2 or 3 weeks, you lung function is back up in a few months, and by a year your risk of heart disease is much closer to that of a non-smoker. One of the best reasons to stop smoking now - after you quit smoking, it takes nearly 10 years for you risk of cancer to drop - and it is still never back to where it was.
My advice - try your very best to quit smoking now, especially since you've started recently. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about ways to quit.
Good luck!!
If you give up smoking your chances of getting cancer will be much lower. However if you give up the pill you may experience some swelling in the abdominal area.
yes mam
Yes, it increases your risk of cancer by a HUGE percentage. No matter how much or how little you smoke.
The main thing with birth control pills and smoking is that it greatly increases you chances of developing blood clots. If you only smoke 2 cigarettes a day, why don't you just quit??? You may only smoke 2 cigarettes a day now, but it will probably increase over time.
