Selena Gomez Says Nicotine Vaping Altered Her Voice

On Sunday, Selena Gomez, 34, revealed in an Instagram post that her voice has changed due to heavy nicotine vaping, which she has now recently quit. She expressed the challenge of abstaining from nicotine and hopes to stay away from it. The singer and actress, diagnosed with lupus, previously mentioned that her autoimmune condition can cause vocal changes, including internal swelling of her throat. In a December Instagram Q&A, she noted that lupus flare-ups can inflame the larynx, leading to strained speech. Gomez disclosed her lupus diagnosis in a 2015 Billboard interview, following a rehab stint after her 2013 tour. She underwent chemotherapy and received a kidney transplant from friend Francia Raisa in 2017. Concerns about her vaping habits arose on social media, while others commended her honesty regarding addiction. Recently, she finished filming the fifth season of Only Murders In The Building in London.
