How does vaping change your voice?

Nicotine vaping can irritate and inflame the vocal cords, leading to swelling and stiffness. This can alter the pitch and quality of a person's voice, making it sound hoarser or deeper. Selena Gomez's experience highlights that these changes can persist even after stopping, as her throat swelling may be a long-term effect.
