How harmful is second hand smoke if you are on birth control?

im on birth control, and my boyfriend is a heavy smoker so im exposed to it all the time. (gross, i know)


since you are not supposed to smoke while on the birth control, on im just wondering.. how does second hand smoke affect you? can it still harm you in the same way that smoking it yourself would?How harmful is second hand smoke if you are on birth control?
Smoking and The Pill in combination is supposed to put you at increased risk of blood clots (which can be fatal). I'm not a medical professional, but I would assume that since you too are drawing smoke into your lungs (and unfiltered, at that) you are in this higher risk category (not to mention the usual nasty effects of passive smoking).





A doctor or competent pharmacist will be able to help you out with this.
