Can vaping trigger seizures? Health officials investigate e-cigarette risks

Can vaping trigger seizures? Health officials investigate e-cigarette risks
U.S. health officials are investigating whether Electronic Cigarette may trigger seizures in some people who use the nicotine-vaping devices. The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it has reviewed 35 reports of seizures among e-cigarettes users, mainly in young people.

Regulators stressed it's not yet clear whether vaping is responsible. But they said they're concerned and encouraged the public to report information about the issue.
These cases warrant "investigation into whether there is in fact a connection," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. Gottlieb is stepping down on Friday after nearly two years heading the agency.
Cases go back to 2010 and were reported to the FDA or poison control centers around the country. Regulators said they detected an uptick in reports beginning mid-2018. While they represent a tiny fraction of Americans who have used e-cigarettes, many safety issues with foods, supplements and other consumer products can go unrecognized because reporting is voluntary.
The announcement comes the day after Gottlieb told CBS News' Dr. Jon LaPook the FDA is so concerned about the dangerous effects of e-cigarettes on American youth that the products may have to be pulled from stores. While Gottlieb acknowledged the devices may help wean some smokers off traditional cigarettes, he stressed that their risks cannot be ignored.
"We think that these products can offer an alternative for currently addicted adult smokers to migrate off of combustible tobacco onto something that doesn't have all the same risks associated with it. But it can't come at the expense of addicting a whole generation of kids onto nicotine through these e-cigarette products," Gottlieb said in the interview.Electronic Cigarette
