Abstract
Smoking is a common problem in epilepsy patients. The inpatient video-EEG monitoring (VEEG) unit provides a unique and conducive environment for epilepsy patients to participate actively in a smoking-cessation program. The restrictions and confinement to the telemetry bed impose a forced abstinence from smoking. It has been suggested that patients who are hospitalized may be more receptive to smoking-cessation advice. We report two patients who were successfully able to quit smoking after admission for VEEG.
