everybody. Most side effects of the Pill are not serious and those that

include blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks, and are increased if you
smoke cigarettes. Cigarette

especially if you're over 35. Women who use oral contraceptives should
not smoke. Some women should not use the Pill, including women who have
or have had blood clots, certain cancers, a history of heart attack or
stroke, as well as those who are or may be pregnant. The Pill does not
protect against HIV or sexually transmitted diseases.
