Katie Price has vowed to kick her vaping addiction after a recent health scare.
The 48-year-old glamor model opened up about her decision on her eponymous podcast, revealing the warning signs have made it clear she ‘has to stop’.
She shared pan-X-rays showing damaged lungs and highlighted medical findings, saying: ‘Vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease.’
Katie admitted the images were shocking, adding: ‘I saw it (the X-ray). Vaping is so bad, it’s so bad for people.’
Her determination has also been strengthened by her mother Amy’s battle with terminal 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 had a chat with mum and Paul and said my New Year’s resolution is to give up vapes. I’m lucky I’ve had my lungs checked so there’s so much damage to my lungs.’
Earlier this week, Katie sparked fresh health concerns after admitting her vaping addiction. Her mother’s ongoing battles with IPF have clearly been a motivating factor in Katie’s decision to quit.
