Selena Gomez announced on October 19, 2026 that nicotine vaping has changed her voice, a detail first reported by Yahoo. The article quotes her describing the alteration as “so stupid” and declaring the habit “not worth it.” The statement directly ties the vocal change to her vaping behavior, marking the first public acknowledgment of the issue.
Variety and the BBC later reproduced the claim, adding that Gomez has quit vaping and describing the voice alteration as permanent. Both outlets cite her comment that the change was “not worth it.” Just Jared and Page Six reinforced the narrative, emphasizing her reference to the addiction as “just not worth it” and noting her view that the habit’s cost outweighs any benefit. The coverage collectively frames the vaping episode as a personal health decision with lasting artistic impact.
No outlet presented an alternative cause; all five sources align on the vaping‑voice link. Current reporting thus reflects a consistent picture: Gomez publicly attributes a lasting vocal change to nicotine vaping and has discontinued the habit. The story remains limited to her statements without external verification.
