The blood clot statistic applies to any user.
Yes, women who smoke and are over 35 have a higher risk, but with Diane-35 the risk of blood clots in women with no other risk factors is higher then for pills such as Ortho-Cyclen, Yasmin, Nordette, etc.
As well, Diane-35 was not created to be a birth control pill, it was originally created and approved for use as an acne treatment.
