Story summary

Selena Gomez, 34, has revealed on Instagram that years of vaping nicotine have permanently changed her voice. In a candid video posted on October 18, 2026, she stated, "I vaped nicotine a lot and nicotine is so hard to quit." She warned others considering vaping that it's not worth it and acknowledged that fans who don't like her new voice can understand their reaction. Gomez also shared that she recently quit vaping but acknowledges the difficulty in maintaining abstinence. Her vocal change has been linked to both vaping and her lupus condition, which causes inflammation affecting various parts of the body, including the throat.
