Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine permanently changed her voice, and doctors explain how it can damage vocal cords.Summary
Selena Gomez, 34, recently said on Instagram that vaping nicotine permanently altered her voice and that she has quit, calling vaping "not worth it." Doctors confirm that vaping hot, dry, chemical-filled aerosol can dry out and inflame the larynx and trachea, causing the voice to become deeper, hoarser or more gravelly, and can lead to vocal strain and coughing. Singers and professional voice users may notice changes sooner. Other health risks include asthma, heart damage, lung scarring, EVALI, altered airway microbiome, nicotine addiction and potential cancer-causing chemicals. Experts advise those who have never used tobacco not to start.
