Plan B is a special pill that helps prevent pregnancy if you’ve had unprotected sex or your birth control failed. It’s best taken right away, ideally within 3 days. Some people might wonder if smoking affects how well it works.
Smoking after taking Plan B does not significantly affect the effectiveness of the emergency contraceptive. However, smoking can decrease the amount of progesterone in the body, which might impact future fertility. Additionally, smoking increases the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack, especially when combined with hormonal contraceptives.
Experts recommend avoiding smoking while using any form of hormonal birth control.
It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
