Singer Selena Gomez has said vaping nicotine has permanently affected her singing and speaking voice.

Singer and actress Selena Gomez, 34, has said vaping nicotine has permanently affected her voice. Speaking in an Instagram post on Sunday, she said: 'I'm not gonna be able to change my voice. I vaped nicotine a lot.' She described vaping as 'so stupid' and 'just not worth it', adding that nicotine is difficult to quit.

Gomez has since stopped vaping and expressed hope she can maintain her abstinence. 'I am really excited because I stopped and I just hope I can keep it up,' she said. 'It's really hard, but I know if you are going through something you can get through it too.'

Gomez has previously attributed voice changes to her chronic autoimmune disease lupus, which can cause inflammation around the larynx and make the voice raspy and strained. Her voice has also deepened with age. Some fans have posted compilation videos on YouTube tracking the evolution of her voice over time.
