Answers:
You've asked a good question! The answer's not so simple, I'm afraid!. Taking baby aspirin daily may or may not be the right thing to do!.

Taking even baby aspirin daily can be a bad thing if you have a bleeding or clotting disorder, asthma, stomach ulcers, or heart failure!. If you dont' have any of those problems, you should know that daily aspirin has the potential for causing another, less common type of stroke called hemorrhagic stroke, which is a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain!.

In short, you have to be careful not to "over thin" your blood!. Most people I know who started taking baby aspirin daily ended up stopping it, due to a tendency to bruise very very very easily and fear of speed-bleeding if they were hurt!.
