Katie Price’s health is causing concern as she recently confessed on social media about her vaping addiction. Sharing a concerning X-ray of an unhealthy lung on her Instagram stories, Katie highlighted the risks by stating, “Vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease,” and expressed her intention to quit.

The star’s family is particularly worried about her vaping habit due to a history of lung disease. Katie’s mother, Amy, 73, has been fighting terminal Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a condition that leads to lung scarring and breathing difficulties. Despite being seen vaping on various occasions, including during a train ride and a live tour with Kerry Katona, Katie has struggled to break the habit.

Sources close to Katie reveal that her family members are urging her to quit due to health concerns, but stress and addiction make it challenging for her. Even her boyfriend, JJ Slater, is reportedly anxious about her health but finds it difficult to intervene. Katie’s vaping behavior has previously caused tension within her family, with her sister Sophie imploring her to stop vaping on their podcast.

Although Katie has attempted to quit vaping in the past, citing concerns including dental issues, she continues to struggle with the habit. With her mother’s health battles in mind, Katie remains apprehensive about the potential risks of vaping on lung health. Despite facing various health challenges this year, including a hospital visit for accidentally stabbing herself and unexplained weight loss, Katie’s loved ones remain hopeful that she can overcome her vaping addiction.

Public Health England acknowledges vaping as a safer alternative to smoking, but the NHS warns that vaping is not entirely risk-free. Despite the obstacles, Katie’s family remains optimistic about her ability to conquer her vaping habit.
