I just have one quick question... I was at my OB-GYN earlier and she prescribed me Yasmin pills...
She went over all the side effects and basically warned me that taking birth control while smoking is a bad combo...
But I totally blanked on asking her if that means I can't even have one or two cigarettes during the day... I mean, I feel like there’s a massive difference between smoking ten cigarettes and just having two in a 24-hour period, right? Do you guys think doing that would actually cause issues or lead to any real problems?
I'm honestly lost here and could really use some advice—or just an answer, really.
It’s super important to me, so...🙏 thanks in advance!🙂

So... I'm in a serious relationship now and I've been thinking about starting birth control.
I wanted to ask those of you who have been on them forever, or even just started—do they actually cause damage?
Are there any real downsides (side effects), and what about the perks, like shorter or lighter periods?
And is it true that after using them for a few months your breasts get a bit bigger or you put on weight?
Is it actually reliable protection...?
Any real advice would be huge, please help me out and let me know everything you guys know about them! 😕
