Selena Gomez has never been shy about getting personal, but her latest Instagram Story confession hit a little different. On Sunday, October 18, the 34-year-old star told followers that she vaped nicotine“a lot”and that the habit has permanently altered her voice.“Just so everyone knows, that’s somewhat … vaped,”she said, finally addressing the voice changes fans have been noticing for months.
The admission connects back to a December 2025 Instagram Live session, where Gomez answered fan concerns about her voice directly. In her new video, she also opened up about how difficult nicotine is to quit.“Nicotine is so hard to quit and I think I just wanted to say, if you’re going through it or even if you’re trying to vape, it’s just not worth it,”she told followers. She confirmed she’s stopped vaping and hopes to stay nicotine-free.
It’s a candid moment from a star who’s been photographed with a vape many times over the years, and it lands right after she told People in September that she embraces getting older and her body changing. So what do you think: does hearing a celebrity admit a habit like this make you more likely to rethink it yourself?
