I know there is a risk even at a young >age, but can anyone tell me exactly what this risk is? The risk is blood clots, heart attacks and cancer along with the other risks that smoking poses. I have a friend who just died the other day of a sudden heart attack - totally healthy before. It has been tragic. I would hate to see this happen when you have been given significant warning. Smoking on the pill is dangerous as is smoking in itself. I would quit smoking, there's nothing good that comes out of it and it's unatractive! -- Lauren I'm not a doctor but have a background in medicine and biology.
