Tobacco stocks dipped Wednesday after the Food and Drug Administration said it was investigating nearly three dozen cases of people who had seizures after vaping.
The FDA said that between 2010 and 2019 it received 35 reports of people, especially teens and young adults, experiencing seizures after using e-cigarettes. Severe nicotine poisoning can cause seizures. However, the FDA said it’s unclear whether e-cigarettes caused the seizures in these cases.
