‘It’s not just worth it – Selena Gomez reveals nicotine vaping changed her voice

American singer and actress Selena Gomez has warned fans against nicotine vaping after revealing that the habit has affected her voice, while admitting that quitting has been difficult.

The 34-year-old made the revelation in a video shared on her Instagram Story on Sunday, October 18, where she encouraged people who vape or are considering taking up the habit to avoid it.

“I’m not going to be able to change my voice. I vaped nicotine a lot. Nicotine is so hard to quit, and I think I just wanted to say, if you’re going through it, or if you’re even trying to vape, it’s just not worth it. It’s so stupid, and it’s changed my voice,” she said.

Gomez acknowledged that some fans might no longer enjoy listening to her voice because of the changes, adding that she would understand if they decided to stop listening to her music.

Despite the difficulty of quitting nicotine, the singer expressed her determination to give up vaping and urged others to learn from her experience.

She had previously addressed questions about changes to her voice during an Instagram Live session in December, explaining at the time that her throat sometimes swelled internally.

Gomez has also spoken publicly about her health challenges, including her battle with lupus, a kidney transplant in 2017 and her bipolar disorder diagnosis.
