Alabama Barker is currently grappling with regrets over her previous indulgence in vaping, as she recently endured a harrowing medical scare stemming from nicotine withdrawal, prompting an urgent trip to an L.A.-area hospital, according to exclusive insights obtained by TMZ.
Confidential sources close to the situation have revealed to TMZ that the daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, who occasionally indulged in vaping, decided to put an end to this habit as she embarked more seriously on her musical journey this year.
The 19-year-old, who is actively pursuing a career in rap, was counseled by industry insiders to abandon her vaping practices due to their adverse effects on her vocal health. Sources claim that Alabama abruptly ceased vaping a month ago, which unexpectedly triggered a sudden onset of panic and discomfort while she was alone. Fearing for her wellbeing, Alabama dialed 911 and was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital.
Our sources indicate that Alabama underwent a thorough examination by medical professionals, who diagnosed her with nicotine withdrawal symptoms resulting from her abrupt cessation of vaping without gradual weaning. She was advised that quitting cold turkey could lead to severe nicotine withdrawal effects.
Fortunately, this incident did not dampen Alabama's spirits on her birthday, which coincided with Christmas Eve. In fact, the teenager was showered with love and affection on her special day, as evidenced by the birthday balloon and an array of flowers she proudly showcased on her Instagram page on Monday.
Alabama indeed has much to celebrate, especially with the recent release of her debut rap music video for the song "Vogue," featuring her renowned stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian. It seems that Alabama can now add the title of anti-vaping spokesperson to her ever-growing resume!
