Popstar Selena Gomez urges fans to quit nicotine vaping after revealing impact on her voice

Selena Gomez, the 34-year-old US singer and actress, has urged her fans to cease nicotine vaping after it adversely impacted her voice, according to PA Media/dpa. In an Instagram Stories video, Gomez disclosed that she had struggled with nicotine vaping and was now determined to quit. She expressed that nicotine is extremely difficult to quit, stating, "Nicotine is so hard to quit.

I think I just wanted to say if you're going through it or even trying, it's not worth it. It's changed my voice." Gomez emphasized that if her voice change is not appealing to her listeners, she understands and wishes them well in their journey to quit vaping. She admitted that quitting nicotine is challenging but remains hopeful about maintaining her nicotine-free lifestyle.

Gomez, who began her acting career as a child on Barney & Friends, rose to fame with the Disney series Wizards Of Waverly Place (2007-2012). Her most recent film, Emilia Perez (2024), saw her portray Jessica Del Monte. Gomez's music career took off in the 2000s, with releases under her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene, and as a solo artist.

In September 2025, she married music producer Benny Blanco. Gomez also lives with lupus, an autoimmune condition causing joint pain, skin rashes, and fatigue.
