Alabama Barker, the 19-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, recently faced a health scare linked to nicotine withdrawal. The aspiring rapper—who is steadily building her music career—was reportedly advised by industry professionals to quit vaping to protect her voice.
According to TMZ, Barker quit vaping a month ago but began feeling unwell and panicked while home alone, leading her to call 911. She was transported to a Los Angeles-area hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with nicotine withdrawal. Medical professionals explained that the abrupt cessation, rather than a gradual reduction, likely triggered her symptoms.
The incident underscores the challenges associated with quitting nicotine, particularly for those who go cold turkey. Nicotine withdrawal can cause physical and emotional distress, emphasizing the importance of medical guidance when attempting to quit.
Alabama’s health scare comes amid her push to establish herself in the music industry. Earlier this month, she released the music video for her single “Vogue,” which features a cameo from her stepmom, Kourtney Kardashian. Despite the setback, fans are hopeful this experience strengthens her resolve as she continues her creative journey.
