Can Smoking Cause Seizures?
Doc, can somking cause ceasures (epilepsy)? I'am 40 years old 81 Kg and been epileptic for the past 3 years and use to be smoke. Since then I've been told that continuing smoking, (besides alchool, flashing lights,etc...) can be one of the cause that of ceasures. I need a confirmation since I started smoking again but number of crises hasn't increased.
