I have been smoking on and off for 18 years, Every time i stop smoking my seziures stop and when i start smoking again they get worse, My docters say smoking doesnt affect epilepsy but i dont believe them any more. So it is up to you if you are willing to take the risk, I hope this is helpful for you.

Smoking can cause many problems seziures too, because though it is said smoking calms you down actually is boosts the methabolism and increases the adrenaline production , things that an cause seziures , i mean don'yt get me wrong have nothing against smoking Cigars or cigarettes but i have been trying to quit for ages and nothing and it really does not seem cooler if you smoke
