What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking Hookah?
if i only smoke hookah about 1 or 2 times every few months will it interfere with the birth control pills that i take? i know it is just as bad as cigarettes so i don't do it often but i was curious since i was told no smoking while on the pill and i wasn't sure if once every blue moon would seriously affect anything

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Smoking leads to increase metabolism of birth control pills in lung due to activation and irritation of cells in lung.
Although you are not smoking hookah regularly but it can be cause of contraception failure in your case, due to intermittent irritation of lung cells.
