“Breathing Feels Like a Chore, It Feels Like Hard Work”: Lola Young Bemoans the Effect of Vaping on Her Health
Young says vaping has worsened her breathing as UK health bodies warn of respiratory risks from e-cigarettes.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026, singer Lola Young posted a TikTok video describing how vaping has made breathing feel like a 'chore,' with her lungs feeling 'battery powered' at age 25.
- Young recalled being warned years ago she would 'start to feel the effects of vaping,' a prediction she initially dismissed by rolling her eyes before the effects materialized.
- The singer joked she deserves a '£30-an-hour' wage just to breathe, yet confessed she has no plans to quit vaping until she turns 45.
- Vocal coach Lizzii Hills told BBC Newsbeat vaping is 'not advised' for artists because difficulty breathing can impair vocal technique and performance capability.
- Young's recent comments follow her 2025 onstage collapse at the All Things Go Music Festival, after which she returned to win a Grammy Award earlier this year.
