Selena Gomez has a warning for anyone thinking about trying a vape. In her recent Instagram stories, the singer shared that she wishes she had never picked up the habit. The singer revealed that frequent nicotine vaping changed her voice’s sound. Although she has now stopped, she admitted quitting was far from easy.Speaking directly to her followers, she was unusually candid about her past nicotine use and the impact she believes it had on her voice.“I’m not gonna be able to change my voice. I vaped nicotine a lot,” she said. The singer went on to explain why she wanted to speak about it, particularly to people who are already vaping or considering starting.“Nicotine is so hard to quit, and I think I just wanted to say, if you’re going through it or if you’re even trying to vape, it’s just not worth it,” she added. Selena did not try to make light of the habit itself. Instead, she admitted that she regretted it, adding that vaping had changed her voice.

Despite the seriousness of her admission, Selena brought some humour into the conversation. She acknowledged that people might not like how her voice sounds now and joked that they could simply stop listening if it bothered them. But her message about quitting was more personal. Selena said she had stopped vaping and was hopeful she could keep it that way.“I’m really excited because I stopped and I just hope I can keep it up,” she said, acknowledging how difficult the process had been. She also offered encouragement to anyone dealing with a similar struggle, telling followers that they could get through it too.
