Birth Control...?

Is there any oral contraceptive that is safe for women who smoke?Birth Control...?
Non-hormonal barrier methods: The diaphragm, cervical cap, Lea's Shield, condoms (male or female), combined with spermicides.
Periodic abstinence (fertility awareness) combined with spermicides.
Sterilization.
Copper-only IUD (though this is NOT recommended for women who have not had at least one full-term pregnancy. Additionally, it comes with a LONG list of adverse side effects).
If you smoke then none of the birthcontrol will be safe to take.. I was on the pill for 2 1/2 years an smoked at the time and was okay. My dr told me that as long as im younger then 35 and smoke that it wouldnt be as bad that people that are 35 and smoke have a higher risk of a health problem!!!
Dont do IUDs eather cause i had an IUD go through my uterus and had to have an emergency surgery to have it removed!!!!
No.
The only safe ones for you are the barrier methods: condoms, diaphrams, etc.
