According to Variety, Gomez discussed the issue in a video of approximately one minute posted to her Instagram Story on Sunday. The exact posting time was not provided in the report.
Gomez said that heavy nicotine vaping had changed her voice and that she would not be able to change it back. Billboard also reported her description of vaping as very difficult to quit and not worth it.
Variety reported that Gomez had quit nicotine vaping. Billboard’s supplied report described the difficulty of quitting but did not independently state that she had completed the process.
Variety described Gomez as a singer, actor and founder of Rare Beauty, and identified her as 34. Her comments were presented as a personal disclosure to fans rather than as a medical assessment.
The available reports do not establish that vaping medically caused any vocal change, whether a change is permanent, or how extensive it may be. They document Gomez’s account and her warning about the difficulty of quitting, but provide no independent medical evaluation or quantified findings.
