Alabama Barker, the 19-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, was reportedly hospitalized due to nicotine withdrawal after quitting vaping.
According to TMZ, Alabama stopped vaping abruptly about a month ago, which triggered an anxiety attack severe enough for her to call 911. The aspiring rapper was taken to a Los Angeles hospital, where doctors informed her that the symptoms were linked to nicotine withdrawal.
The outlet reported that Alabama had not gradually reduced her use of vape pens, a common recommendation for quitting nicotine. Music industry professionals had encouraged her to give up the habit, as vaping is known to harm vocal cords.
Earlier this month, Alabama released her first music video for her single Vogue, which featured her stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian.
The teen is carving out a career in rap while receiving support from her family.
Alabama celebrated her 19th birthday on the same day as the annual Kardashian Christmas Eve party. While she showcased birthday flowers and balloons on her Instagram Story, she was absent from the photos shared by Kourtney on social media.
Her decision to quit vaping highlights the challenges young people face in overcoming nicotine dependence, particularly when it affects their personal and professional lives.
