Doja Cat Says She’s “Addicted” To Vaping And Has To Quit After Her Infected Tonsils Caused Her To Cancel All Upcoming Tour Dates

If you follow Doja Cat on Instagram — or, if you watched this year’s Billboard Music Awards — you might’ve already noticed that she vapes quite a bit.

In response to a Twitter user asking her if she was still vaping, Doja said she was “quitting…for a while” in an attempt to kick the habit for good.

“Imagine all that wierd [sic] poisonous shit in the vape seeping into the completely open wound in my throat like fuck that,” Doja added. “I’m hella young.”

After another Twitter user told her to “throw the vape away,” she replied that doing so would just make her “panic.” “I’m addicted but I’m not weak,” she said. “I was literally staring at my vape today that normally I’d hit a thousand times a day and hit it two times instead.”

“It’s not about throwing them away it’s about not needing them. Right now I NEED THEM. I don’t WANT them [right now] because I’m in pain.”

Doja then said that anyone telling her to “THROW IT AWAY THEN QUEEN” sounded “condescending” to “anybody who’s actually struggling [with] nicotine addiction.”

She also thanked fans for “all the reassurance” and said that it was about to “make me cry.” “I appreciate it,” she said. “Thanks for being supportive. I love you.”
