Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
It is not recommended that you smoke tobacco while on Visanne (a synthetic progesterone) because of the increase in the risk of venous thrombolembolism (VTE), especially if you are overweight/obese and/or there is family history of VTE. I urge you to consult your treating physician on the matter for he/she has more information regarding your other risk factors for VTE.
