Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine changed her voice
Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine permanently changed her voice and she has now quit.Summary
Selena Gomez said in an Instagram Stories video that vaping nicotine has permanently changed her voice, saying "I vaped nicotine a lot" and that she can no longer change it. The singer, actor, and Rare Beauty founder, 34, said quitting nicotine is very difficult but urged anyone going through it to keep trying, adding that vaping is "just not worth it" and that if people dislike her voice, they simply should not listen. She did not specify when or for how long she had vaped. Gomez has been open about her health struggles, including a 2015 lupus diagnosis, a 2017 kidney transplant, and her bipolar disorder diagnosis in the 2022 documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me. Health experts, including University of Alberta professor Dilini Vethanayagam, said the dangers of vaping extend beyond nicotine, since vape smoke contains many chemicals that can affect the upper and lower airways, vocal cords included. Health Canada says vaping products and liquids contain over 1,500 unique chemicals, and risks include lung damage. Public figures speaking honestly about vaping matters, the expert said, because many people wrongly believe it is safe. Canada's federal government promised five years ago to restrict vaping flavours, but it remains unclear whether or when that will happen.
