Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

Smoking is not good for any body.

Smoking tobacco is not known to have any definite effects on seizure control,

However, persons with epilepsy are not only susceptible to all the usual effects of smoking, but also to the increased risk of injury and death from fire.

Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic and posting your query.

Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.

If you have further concerns in this regard, you can submit those with Healthcaremagic as well.

With good wishes,
I find this answer helpful
