Quit!
Well that is the official answer. However, most of the time, this is not an overnight process! Many people require the aid of their physician, their family, their friends, their church, their distant cousins, and most importantly their God to acheive this attainable feat!
So while you work on that… what do you do if you are a 30’something smoker?
“MS “asked this very question.
The pill is out if you are 35 years or older and a smoker. The estrogen in The Pill is a problem, but there may even be risk associated with the progesterone! (That’s still being studied…)
Discuss with your physcian the possibility of using an intrauterine device (IUD) such as the Paragard. This is a highly effective form of birth control! However, every person has an individual set of circumstances which make contact with a primary care physician vital! During the visit, you could even ask your doc about quitting cigarette use 
Condoms used properly may be the best option. They are readily available with very few side effects! (Just make sure to avoid latex if you have an allergy!)
The choice is yours just be sure to involve your physician. As a smoker, you increase your risk of cardiovascular disease with or without The Pill…
Best of luck “MS” and keep us posted! Sharing your personal experience will definitely help us learn!
