Our reading
Selena Gomez’s voice is now a cautionary tale, not for its quality but for the way it’s been altered by nicotine. Doctors say millions of vapers are similarly affected, but no one’s asking if their own voices are still intact.
It’s easy to imagine a world where the only people talking about vaping are those who’ve already lost their ability to speak clearly. The rest of us are just waiting for our own symptoms to show up in a way that’s easy to blame on something else.
Maybe the next time someone says they’re ‘just vaping,’ they’ll remember that their voice might not be the only thing that gets ruined.
