Katie Price has vowed to kick her vaping addiction following a recent health scare.
The 48-year-old glamor model opened up about her decision on her self-titled podcast, revealing that the warning signs have made it clear to her that she “has to stop.”
She shared an x-ray showing damaged lungs and highlighted the medical findings, stating: “Vaping has been officially linked to a rare, irreversible lung disease.”
Katie admitted the images were shocking, adding: “I saw it (the X-ray). It’s so bad vaping, it’s so bad for people.”
His determination has also been strengthened by his mother Amy’s battle with end-stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Amy, 73, underwent a life-saving lung transplant in 2022 and her experience has made Katie determined to protect her own health.
Katie explained that she spoke to Amy and her stepdad Paul about her vaping habit, saying: “I spoke to Mum and Paul and told them my New Year’s resolution is to give up vapes.” I’m lucky to have had my lungs examined, which is why they are so damaged.’
Earlier this week, Katie sparked new health concerns after admitting her addiction to vaping. Her mother’s ongoing struggle with IPF has clearly been a motivating factor in Katie’s decision to quit smoking.
