In my opinion.,id say no,Cant xee chewing tobacco causing epilepsy..I smoked way too many years,big mistake,now have copd along with my grand mals.As copd gets worse ,i did quit 8 years ago,cou?d be introuble..When i was younger many women smoked some while pregnant ..Dont know of anyone with epillepsy except me..If you need to smoke i guess a vaporizor betterthan tobacco,Anyone with epilepsy better not smoke ,please,you smoke get hooked guit and copd still comes.Once you get copd it get worse and worse.. my copd is now severesooner or later they will collide ,i dont know if my lungs will be able to handle grandmal seizure..unfortunztely never heard of copd when i was younger.
