Selena Gomez revealed nicotine vaping permanently changed her voice and said quitting was very hard.Summary
In a candid Instagram Story post on Sunday, October 18, Selena Gomez opened up about the negative effects of nicotine vaping on her voice. The 34-year-old singer said she vaped nicotine heavily and that "it's changed my voice." "I'm not gonna be able to change my voice," she said, adding that nicotine is very hard to quit. She encouraged fans going through the same struggle, saying vaping is "just not worth it" and "so stupid," and suggested that those who don't like her voice simply not listen to it. Gomez also shared the good news that she has stopped vaping, expressing hope that she can keep it up. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the dangers of vaping include nicotine addiction, asthma, cancer, lung scarring, coughing, shortness of breath, and a dry or irritated mouth and throat. Gomez, known for her sometimes husky, raspy voice, previously addressed her vocal issues during an Instagram Live session last December, saying her throat sometimes swells inside. She has also been open about her struggles with bipolar disorder and lupus, an autoimmune condition that can cause vocal fatigue, hoarseness, and an altered vocal quality. Meanwhile, the London-focused sixth season of her Hulu comedy series Only Murders in the Building returns on December 8.
