Blod clots are only the half of it. The risk of cancer developing increases by nearly up to 30% I'm told, amongst other terrible things.

In fact, I smoke about 7 per day, 20 when I'm drinking on a weekend, and although I didn't think it was THAT bad, THREE doctors at my local surgery refused to put me on the pill and insisted that I have the contreceptive jab instead.... In the end, I thought that I was putting myself at unnecessary risk when I'm out of a relationship... I think that should sum things up a bit.
