		For women using the COCP a choice available to them is to omit the pill free week and start a new cycle of pills beginning with the first pill of the second cycle the day after the last pill of the first cycle.

	UK study underlines safety of contraceptive pill for non-smokers
		The key finding from the study highlights no increased risk of death from any cause (except cervical cancer) for non-smoking pill users; however among heavy smokers the study findings suggest a moderate increase in the risk of death from ischaemic heart disease in women who used the contraceptive pill compared with non-smoking pill users.
		Around 17,000 women who were aged 25—39 years between 1968 and 1974 and who used oral contraceptives, a contraceptive diaphragm, or an intrauterine device took part in the study.
		As expected, an increase in death from cervical cancer among women who had ever used the oral contraceptive pill was more than counterbalanced by a reduction in risk of death from other uterine cancers and ovarian cancer.
