A member asked:

Began smoking a e-cig hookah pen last week. now suffering from night sweats and inability to sleep thru nitecould this be related to the nicotine use?

Yes: Nicotine is a stimulant. If you are getting too much (or any really) in your system, then symptoms of hyperstimulation like night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia will result.
