Hi Jessica:

I'm not a Dr., but my understanding is that cigarette smoking can increase cervical cell growth, therefore in some women with HPV who smoke, there is a tendancy to develop cervical cancer. I'm guessing that smoking drugs would have the same effect.... I'm sure that you already know how illicit drugs affect you entire health, including your reproductive ability?

Best wishes.
