Are blood thinners dangerous for those on a vegan diet?

I have been vegan for about two years, and my painkiller of choice is BC Powder (powder form of Aspirin). I don't know much about blood thinners, but I know that Aspirin is one of them and that for some people, i.e. smokers and those vulnerable to heart diseases, blood thinners are important in regulating the thickness of blood. However, I am getting worried that it could possibly make the blood of a relatively healthy individual TOO thin. For what individuals are blood thinners dangerous, and are they dangerous for vegetarians/vegans?Are blood thinners dangerous for those on a vegan diet?
No, it isn't more dangerous for you than anyone else, and that is pretty much regardless of your weight. If you aren't taking aspirin every day than it isn't much of an issue at all, but if you take it frequently you would likely bleed a little longer than normal as your platelets will be inhibited from clotting.
