Are you a chain smoker like Fulvia?

There are many studies that exist in the literature that document an increased risk of cardiovascular problems for female smokers that take the combined contraceptive pill. If you think it’s useful to change, the progestin-only pill may offer a less risky solution, but first consult with your gynecologist to assess the risks and benefits. If you can, reduce your smoking – it doesn’t only cause heart problems, but it can damage your whole body, and triggers a chronic state of inflammation that is harmful to your health both today and tomorrow.
