Selena Gomez Opens Up About Vaping Effects on Her Voice
Renowned singer and actress Selena Gomez has revealed that her vocal quality has been altered due to vaping nicotine. The 34-year-old artist took to Instagram to share her experiences, underscoring the challenges that come with nicotine addiction.
Gomez, who recently shot the fifth season of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ in London, expressed her regrets over the changes vaping had caused. “It’s quite difficult to quit nicotine,” she mentioned on her social media platform. The singer admitted to her fans that vaping is ultimately not worth the detrimental effects, humorously adding that if her changed voice is off-putting, listeners are free to tune out.
The former Disney star has previously talked about how her health condition, lupus, impacted her voice. Lupus, an autoimmune disease, may lead to inflammation that affects vocal cords, making her voice occasionally sound raspy or strained. Gomez received a kidney transplant in 2017, thanks to her friend Francia Raisa, which temporarily put her lupus into remission.
However, Gomez’s mention of vaping triggered a range of reactions from her followers. Some fans expressed concern over her nicotine use, especially considering her kidney transplant. Despite the mixed responses, many applauded her for being transparent about her struggles, as quitting nicotine is notoriously challenging.
This honest revelation is a continuation of Gomez’s openness about her health challenges, including her lupus diagnosis and mental health struggles. Her documentary ‘Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me’ further elaborates on her journey with lupus and life challenges.
In her latest Instagram story, Gomez encouraged fans facing similar battles to stay resilient. “Stopping is tough, but the journey is worth it,” she said. By sharing her experiences, Gomez hopes to encourage others to confront their issues head-on.
