Blood Clots and heart problems to name a few. Esp. if you are over 35 yrs. of age. Also, included in the birth control pills pack should be a pamphlet on why smoking is not encouraged. You should read this and if you notice any of the symptoms listed in the pamphlet you should see you Dr. right away.
