Lola Young Says Vaping Has Made Breathing 'a Chore'

Her TikTok links breathing trouble to years of vaping, signaling renewed scrutiny of vaping's health risks.

Overview

  • Young posted a candid TikTok about her breathing on Sept. 30, saying years of vaping have left her lungs feeling “battery powered” and that inhaling now feels like hard work.
  • In the video she said she is not ready to quit vaping and joked she will “try to quit when I’m 45,” framing the update with humor rather than as a formal health announcement.
  • Coverage connects the TikTok to Young's 2025 on-stage collapse and subsequent treatment, noting that collapse prompted a break from performing and a period in rehab.
  • No independent medical diagnosis or new treatment plan has been reported; outlets stress that the breathing problems are self-reported by Young rather than medically confirmed.
  • The update is likely to renew public conversation about vaping and young-adult lung health and could affect Young’s recovery decisions and public schedule going forward.
