Midwakh (pipe) and seizure: The overlooked link

Objective: Numerous drugs and medications from various pharmacological classes can lead to seizures as an unwanted side effect. Midwakh is a pipe commonly used to smoke tobacco blend in small quantities. Midwakh use is increasing, especially among young people. Case Presentation: A ۱۷-year-old patient with a history of seizures was provoked by smoking midwakh, despite having no previous disease history. Conclusion: Although the patient had a negative workup for epilepsy, midwakh should be classified as an epileptogenic drug. More studies need to be conducted on the effects of midwakh on the neurological system
