Claudia Rampazzo, sexuality specialist and couple therapist, mentioned in a press conference that the World Health Organization has evaluated certain criteria, based on scientific evidence, which have been designed to expand access to contraceptive use without putting risk your health.

Today, women can be free to choose the contraceptive method that best suits their lifestyle, even if they are patients suffering from specific diseases such as smoking, obesity and hypertension, "he said.

In that sense, women smokers do not run the risk of clot formation as could happen with other contraceptive methods.
