Vape Make a Selena Gomez Change, will you? It's a study word

Recently Selena Gomez admitted the use of the vape changed her voice. The 34-year-old singer shared his experience through Instagram Stories on Sunday (18 / 10).

"I won't be able to change my voice... I used to use a lot of nicotine vape,

Gomez himself stressed the use of nicotine that made his voice change. He himself had trouble stopping, so it suggested a lot of people to think back when trying to vape.

"Nicotine is very difficult to stop, and I think I just want to say, if you're experiencing it or even trying to vape, it's not worth it," says Gomez.

The confession raises further questions. Can the vape affect the sound? A number of studies showed the potential impact on vocal cords, even though it was unable to determine the cause of Gomez's voice change personally.

A study by Juliana Ceglio Monteiro et. In the Journal of Voice in August 2025 discussing the effects of electric cigarettes on sound quality and system that play in sound production.

The study with an integrative literature review that looks like 20 of these studies, shows the use of electric cigarettes can cause inflammation in the epithelial layer and mucosa vocal cords.

The components in it can also create droughts, thus interfering with the necessary conditions for the vocal cords to function properly.

According to the study, in addition to potentially worsening the quality of sound, the use of vape can increase the risk of coughing and difficulty of breathing. The inflammation or the drought in the vocal cords can interfere with the sound-forming process.

Nevertheless, researchers emphasize the need for more powerful research to understand the effects of the use of electric cigarettes constantly in the short, medium, and long.

The findings also haven't proven that someone's voice change must have been caused by the vape.

Another study Birgül Godioğlu et. In the Journal of Voice in September 2019, trying to compare the quality of vape users, conventional smokers, and people who never smoked.

The study involves 81 healthy men, who are 21 people of electric cigarettes, 30 of them, and 30 of them who never smoked.

As a result, conventional cigarette users report more noise disorders. At a certain measurement, their weaker voices are also more unstable, while the sound has more moving elements.

However, not all parameters show statistically meaningful differences. High-pitched tone and some size stability sounds no different significant intergroup.

In this study, the impact of vape on sound looks lighter than conventional cigarettes. But these findings don't mean that they're safe.

This study involves very few male participants and is done at one time. Therefore, the results haven't been able to confirm the effect or long-term impact.

But Gomez's experience is a reminder not to ignore the change in sound, especially if complaints settle or are accompanied by throat disorders. Doctor's examination is required to determine the cause.
