These six celebrities have spoken about vaping, from voice changes and surgeries to the frustration of trying to quit. Their stories raise one question: what is this habit costing you?
1. Selena Gomez: Concerns about her voice
In October 2026, Selena Gomez said vaping changed her voice, and not in a good way. When your signature voice is part of your career, that hits hard. She also acknowledged how difficult quitting nicotine had been.
For a singer and actor, concerns about her voice have professional stakes. Her honesty is relatable: wanting to stop doesn’t mean stopping feels easy.
2. Doja Cat: Surgery and cancelled performances
Doja Cat had to cancel festival appearances and her scheduled tour with The Weeknd while recovering from tonsil surgery in 2022 due to vaping all day.
If “this is my last one” sounds familiar, you understand why a strong reason to quit still needs a plan behind it.
3. Kate Garraway: Getting hooked again at work
Kate Garraway said she returned to vaping in 2023 after picking up a vape on the Good Morning Britain set, years after quitting. She described feeling hooked again and said, “I hated myself for it.” As a news reporter her voice is everything and couldnt risk it with vaping.
The familiar work break, stressful call, or colleague heading outside can become part of your routine. Recognizing those moments gives you something specific to prepare for.
4. Lily Allen: A coping habit that stopped helping
Lily Allen said she was trying to quit vaping, describing it as a coping mechanism that was no longer serving her. Her voice suffered, and so did her performances. She said she had to stop if she wanted to keep singing.
Relatable? Your little stress break can become another responsibility: finding it, charging it, buying another one. You’re allowed to want less of that in your day.
5. Adele: Protecting her voice and her future
After vocal surgery, she reportedly received a warning that continuing to vape would permanently damage her voice. She also connected quitting with wanting to be there and healthy for her son.
Her story connects work, health, and family. Your reason might be money, freedom, or simply being tired of planning your day around nicotine.
6. Bella Hadid: Made quitting a New Year’s resolution
Bella Hadid made quitting her JUUL a 2019 New Year’s resolution. She was tired of being tired and run down and outright sick from vaping all day, every day. Her health was severely impacted since she had Lyme disease, and vaping made everything worse.
If you’ve ever put “quit vaping” on your January list, you get the appeal of a fresh start.
How they all quit:
Bella made quitting a New Year’s resolution. Adele wanted to protect her voice and be there for her son. Others have shared the messy reality of trying again. Different reasons, one relatable goal: stop letting nicotine call the shots.
