Selena Gomez has told fans that heavy vaping of nicotine has had a lasting impact on her voice. The 34-year-old, known for her music and acting work, said vaping "a lot" has permanently affected both her singing and speaking voice.
Gomez did not provide detailed medical information in the remarks, but characterised the change as lasting rather than temporary. Her comment adds to a growing public conversation about the potential health effects of vaping, particularly for people who rely on their voices professionally.
As a performer whose career includes recorded music, live singing and screen work, changes to vocal quality can have significant personal and professional implications. Gomez's disclosure may prompt renewed interest in how inhaled nicotine and other vaping substances affect the throat and vocal cords.
The singer's statement is the latest high-profile account of adverse experiences linked to vaping. While individual experiences vary, public discussion around the respiratory and oral health consequences of vaping has intensified in recent years.
