| Definitely. Women your age and older often choose the pill for its contraceptive and non-contraceptive benefits. Not only can the pill help prevent a surprise unintended pregnancy later in life, it can also help regulate menstruation during perimenopause, help reduce symptoms of PMS or certain symptoms of perimenopause, and help protect against ovarian and endometrial cancer.
The pill, however, cannot be used by women 35 or older who smoke, so it's a good thing you're no longer smoking.
One other thing: the pill cannot protect against sexually transmitted infections. So, even if that someone is special, be sure to practice safer sex, including condom use for sexual intercourse, until you are as certain as you can be that you are not taking any risks that could lead to dangerous infections, such as HIV.
