Does Smoking Sheesha Cause Seizure?

Hello
my boyfriend had a seizure on New Years day last week which they think may be tied to stress, fatigue, and alcohol...however they are not sure. We were planning on going to a sheesha bar tonight...however i am wondering if smoking sheesha could trigger another seizure??

Hi. If he is has not yet been given a diagnosis as to the cause of his seizure, then it will need further investigation, initially with an EEG. In the meantime, anything that could have an impact on his cognitive state should be avoided - this includes alcohol and drugs.
