E-Cigs May Cause Seizures
from Dr. Howard Smith Reports Hosted by Howard G. Smith MD, AM
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/iasDGPN5naM The FDA has just issued a special warning that some e-cigarette users have developed seizures. Nicotine toxicity can lower a persons seizure threshold. Seizures have previously only been reported in cases of accidental e-cigarette liquid ingestion. Now case reports are coming in where seizures are occurring in those vaping for the first time but also in more experienced users. Convulsions may occur after only a few puffs but may also be delayed up to one day. If you or someone you know has experienced a seizure in association with e-cigarette use, report the details immediately to both your doctor and to the FDA through their safety reporting portal: safetyreporting.hhs.gov. https://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/NewsEvents/ucm635133.htm #Vaping #ecigarettes #seizure #nicotine
