It is sufficient in many cases to justify a scientific investigation, said the authorities.
To secure the connection according to the current state, it said. “The reports also do not provide enough detail to identify a clear pattern or causes for these incidents.” The seizures had occurred in both first-time as well as experienced users. We hope that now even more possible Sufferers reported. Seizures or convulsions are poisoning known side-effects of Nicotine, so the FDA.
