Since 2010, the FDA received 127 reports of seizures or other neurological symptoms, but research is still ongoing as the FDA doesnât have enough information to link the events.
Acting FDA commissioner Ned Sharpless said in a statement that additional reports and more detailed information on reported incidents could help the agency identify risk factors.
âWeâre committed to monitoring this issue closely and taking additional steps as necessary to protect the public, especially our nationâs youth, from the dangers of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products,â Sharpless said.
To be clear, not all of the agencyâs 127 reports were for seizures: the FDA said that some of the reports were for other neurological issues such as fainting and tremors.
But unlike cigarettes, with vaping you arenât ever âfinished.â You can keep puffing and puffing, not realizing you may technically be getting the same amount of nicotine as you would chain-smoking.
Experts warned about nicotine overdose for years as the popularity of e-cigarettes exploded.
