Selena Gomez isn’t holding back about her vaping history. In an Instagram Story post on Sunday, October 18, the 34-year-old singer told fans she used to vape nicotine“a lot”and admitted the habit is tough to quit. Her blunt takeaway:“It’s just not worth it. It’s so stupid, and it’s changed my voice.”That raspy sound fans have noticed over the years might finally have an explanation straight from the source.
What makes this especially honest is that Gomez has spent years being transparent about her health, including her bipolar disorder and lupus, both of which can affect vocal quality. Rather than pointing fingers or lecturing anyone, she offered a simple message of support, telling fans who are struggling or considering vaping that they can get through it too. She confirmed she’s since stopped and wants to keep it that way.
Fans have plenty to look forward to as well, with the London-set sixth season of Only Murders in the Building returning on December 8. Between her honesty about health and her packed schedule, Selena continues to keep it real with her audience. Have you ever noticed a habit affecting your voice or your body in a way that surprised you?
