it's really bad, why would you want to do it anyways?\n\nSmoking cigarettes while taking birth control pills dramatically increases risks of heart attack for women over 35. Smoking is far more dangerous to a woman's health than taking birth control pills, but the combination of oral contraceptive pill use and smoking has a greater effect on heart attack risk than the simple addition of the two factors. Smoking cigarettes while taking birth control pills increases a woman's risk of having an ischemic stroke (three times more likely in pill users than in nonusers) or a hemorrhagic stroke (three to four times that of nonusers), according to a large World Health Organization (WHO) study.

A LONG TRAIL OF EVIDENCE LINKS CIGARETTE SMOKING TO LUNG CANCER\n\nAs someone who’s life has been touched by the tragic effects of cigarette smoking, I was saddened last week when the Supreme Court barred the FDA from regulating cigarettes. About 48 million adult Americans smoked cigarettes last year, according to the CDC. That’s one in four people, a fact that astonishes and alarms me. Why? Because this year an estimated 180,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States, and 90% of them will die within three years -- and 96% of these cancer victims are cigarette smokers.\n\n\nIs there a cause-and-effect connection between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer? Two years ago, I wrote my first columns for the Post Dispatch, explaining the scientific evidence that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, and that cigarette smoking is addictive. If these two points are indeed true, then cigarettes , so much a part of American life, are in fact an addictive deadly drug! In the hope of encouraging readers to urge congress to act, I am reprinting these columns. In today’s column we will follow the trail of evidence that proves clearly that smoking causes cancer. In next week’s column I will examine the evidence that smoking tobacco is addictive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOINTING THE FINGER AT CIGARETTES\n\n\nThe long trail of evidence linking cigarettes to lung cancer has its beginnings right here in St. Louis, at Washington University’s School of Medicine. In 1948 a young first-year medical student, Ernst Wynder, witnessed an autopsy of a man who had died of lung cancer, and noted the lungs were blackened. Curious, he looked into the background of the patient. There was no obvious exposure to air pollution, but the man’s wife revealed he had smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for thirty years! Like a dog with a juicy bone, Wynder had found a puzzle that would occupy him much of his professional life, and despite much controversy, he never let go of it.\n\n\nOver the next two years, Wynder doggedly reviewed records to see if there were other cases linking cigarettes and lung cancer. He found that many lung cancer patients were smokers. Interviewing lung cancer patients and "control" patients with other cancers, far more cancer occurred among the smokers. Early in 1950 he published his results in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Comparing 649 lung cancer patients with 600 controls, he found lung cancer an incredible 40 times higher among smokers, with the risk of cancer increasing with the number of cigarettes smoked.\n\n\nLater that year, Richard Doll, a well known British scientist, reported an even more convincing finding linking smoking to lung cancer. Over a period of years, Doll had interviewed quite a large number of physicians, inquiring of each about their smoking habits -- then waited to see which ones developed lung cancer. Overwhelmingly, they were the smokers. Because it was not "after the fact", Doll’s test of the smoking causes cancer hypothesis was particularly rigorous and powerful. From that day forward, the scientific case linking smoking to lung cancer has been clear-cut.

Great Question. A lot of women are nervous about this combination of smoking and the pill. There are some risks associated; as we all know the scientific evidece of smokings afect upon womens health and assocciated diseases. There are added conditions that you may develop by continuing to smoke whilst on the Birth control pill.\n\nThere is some evidence that smoking can decrease the effectiveness of OCs. Smoking causes a breakdown of estrogen, thus lowering the body's estrogen levels, which in turn plays a role in the effectiveness of the pill. Some smokers will experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding on the pill, more so than non-smokers. This could signal that the efficacy of the pill is lowered. More research needs to be conducted to better understand how, to what degree, and in what timetable smoking decreases the pill's effectiveness. \n\nWhat we know for sure is that women who smoke and take oral contraceptives (OCs) increase their risk of heart disease. This risk is a dose-related situation — meaning, the more you smoke, the older you are, and the higher the levels of estrogen in your pill, the greater the risk. So in regards to heart disease, you need to consider the number of cigarettes you smoke per day, your age, and the type of pill you are taking. \n\nIn the meantime, talk with your gynecologist or another women's health care provider about your social smoking. Since you are taking OCs, it's important that s/he know that you smoke in order to consider which birth control pill or another contraceptive is the best option for you. \n\nAlso credit ASH, and include ASH's web address: http://ash.org\n\nCombination of Smoking and Birth Control Pills Leads to Heart Problems  [07/25-4] \nExcerpts from: A Matter of the Heart \n  \n\nAdriana Camacho-Church  drkoop.com  [07/23/01] \n\nRead the study in the Archives of Internal Medicine Low-Dose Oral Contraceptive Use and the Risk of Myocardial Infarction \n  \n\n                  A recent study confirmed that women increase the risk of having a first-time \n                  heart attack by 30 times when they smoke 25 cigarettes or more a day and \n                  take a daily, low-dose birth control pill. \n\n                  Lynn Rosenberg, an epidemiologist at Boston University School of Medicine \n                  in Brookline, Mass., and her colleagues, conducted the research to find out \n                  whether the newer, low-dose birth control pills that contain less than 50 \n                  micrograms of estrogen per dose (like those Logan took), are safer than the \n                  oral contraceptives of the past. \n\n                  Based on her findings, Rosenberg says that in terms of causing \n                  cardiovascular disease, today's low-dose contraceptives "do very little, except \n                  in a heavy smoker." \n\n                  Light smokers and non-smokers do not seem to be putting themselves at \n                  greater risk of developing heart problems by taking low-dose oral \n                  contraceptives, Rosenberg states in her report. \n\n                  Published in the April 23rd issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, the \n                  14-year study was conducted in 75 hospitals in the greater-Boston and \n                  Philadelphia area between January of 1985 and March 1999. \n\n                  Low-dose oral contraceptives were developed after reports suggested that the \n                  amount of estrogen in older birth control pills had serious side effects, \n                  including strokes, heart attacks and blood clots. \n\n                  "High-dose birth control pills did have risks even in the absence of smoking," \n                  says Rosenberg. \n\n                  Concerned about all the negative press surrounding oral contraceptives and \n                  smoking cigarettes, Logan stopped taking the pill 18 years ago

I'm not sure about that, but I think that it possibly could, because it does in adults.\nSecond hand smoke also causes cancer, so it's best to not let your child around any cigarette smoke.\n\n\n...not to mention, it just stinks really bad...

No. Smoking cigarette's doesn't cure anything. Infact it causes problems (don't smoke).

Smoking early in pregnancy appears to increase a woman’s risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo becomes implanted in a fallopian tube or other abnormal site instead of the uterus. With the rarest of exceptions, these pregnancies do not result in the birth of a baby, and must be removed surgically or with drug treatment to protect a woman’s life. Smoking also may increase a woman’s risk of miscarriage.  \nCigarette smoking also appears to double a woman’s risk of developing placental complications (which occur in about 1 percent of pregnancies). These include placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta is attached too low in the uterus and covers part or the entire cervix; and placental abruption, in which the placenta separates from the uterine wall before delivery. Both can result in a delivery that jeopardizes the life of mother and baby, though a cesarean delivery can prevent most deaths.  There are a lot other risks associated with smoking and pregnancy, so your best bet would be to quit.

It is an infection in your cervix that is usally transmitted through sexual contact. A cervical infection can lead to cancer if not treated properly at the earliest sign of notice.\nIf you think you or someone has it, go see your OBGYN.

No.  Cancer is a genetically-based disease, and can be caused by exposure to chemical toxins, such as those found in cigarette smoke, but it is not communicable (i.e. you can't catch cancer from a person who has cancer in the way you can catch a cold from a person who has a cold).\n\nSome cancers ARE linked to viruses that can be spread, notably HPV, which is linked to cervical cancer.  But the relative risk of getting cancer this way is very low...much, much lower than the risk of getting cancer due to family genetics.

The virus can cause cervical cancer in you. It should not do anything to the baby at all.  There is no "cure," but in 80% of the cases your immune system will fight it off with time.  Just make healthy choices to boost your immune system, and go for regular pap smears.

Nothing's for sure, but there have been studies that have shown that even one can raise the chance of getting addicted.  So your smoking one every 3 days increases the chance greatly over not smoking.  I don't have the exact numbers handy, but I'm sure you could find something similar on Google.

Yes, hpv is a serious disease, as it frequently causes cervical cancer in women, rectal cancer in those on the receiving end of sodomy, and rarely cancer of the penis in a man.  Yes, you can have kids, and they aren't likely to get it at birth.  But cervical cancer can lead to early infertility, by requiring a hysterectomy, and even by causing early death of a woman.  Condoms do not prevent the spread of hpv.

Yes, but if you quit your chances are reduced.  Alot of people don't know this, but the lungs instantly begin repairing themselves as soon as you quit smoking!  You should do it, because the damage can be reversed over time.

Although you have no genetic history, a history of smoking does put you at a more risk level for lung cancer.  Studies have shown that second hand smoke may actually be worse than smoking.  So, by already smoking in the past, you've already exposed your lungs to the carcenigens is tobacco.  Continuing to expose yourself to secondhand smoke puts you at even more risk.
