Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
For a smoker of your age, none of the birth control pills can be called safe. Failure of contraceptive pills is quite commonly associated with smoking.As you have already consumed pills for quite a long time it is better now for you to try barrier methods or get copper inserted inside.
