Accurate Statements
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from combination oral contraceptive use.
Section 5 (Warnings): “Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from combination oral contraceptive use.”
The risk increases with age, particularly in women over 35 years of age, and with the number of cigarettes smoked.
Section 5 (Warnings): “This risk increases with age, particularly in women over 35 years of age, and with the number of cigarettes smoked.”
Therefore, women over 35 who smoke should not use Nylia® (a combination oral contraceptive).
Section 5 (Warnings): “For this reason, combination oral contraceptives, including Nylia®, should not be used by women who are over 35 years of age and smoke.”

Primary Issue
Boxed-warning status was not addressed (not necessary for the core smoking/age claim).
Suggested Improvement
If relevant, explicitly distinguish that the cited language is from the Warnings section (Section 5) rather than asserting it is a boxed warning.
