Low does aspirin [View all]

Maybe many of you have been taken low dose aspirin because it was a trend several years ago. My SO was encouraged by his doctor to take low dose aspirin in it's hey-day! After reading a lot about it, I really don't think he needs to take it. No history of heart disease etc. I asked him to ask his doc about it and finally he did. His doc said it's not a good idea to stop taking it, there are repercussions. So my question is, how does one stop taking low dose aspirin? I've read many articles about taking it is not necessary without having a history of heart disease, but nothing about easing off. My friend doesn't want to stop taking it. I'm adamant that he should NOT be taking it.

Your thoughts?
