Is it normal to smoke and take birthcontrol
So I'm 20 years old smoker taking birth control. My mother resently saw something on The Doctors that said that women who smoke and are taking birth control are at an increased risk of heart attack. I know that's true but now she's freaking out. I've tried to tell her it's fine because i'm fit and young and i will eventually get an iud anyway. But of course that doesn't work.
My question:
Is it really okay or am i just trying to make to make myself feel better.
p.s. i have absolutly no intention of quiting.
