In several cases, the seizure presented immediately after its use, while others reported continuous use for weeks before seizures occurred. This review presents a deeper insight into the clinical management, implications, and public health considerations of seizure susceptibility in e-cigarette users.

Furthermore, we discuss the existing debates and controversies, diagnostic directions, and potential role in individual susceptibility to e-cigarette-associated seizures. Importantly, we address how seizures may be accompanied by both physical and psychological sequelae, which may impair the quality of life for individuals presenting for emergency care. We also address the limitations and challenges in the etiology of e-cigarette-associated seizures and the non-criteria for defining seizures caused by e-cigarettes.
