Katie Price Admits Vaping Addiction After Posting Lung-Disease Warning

Family concern is heightened by her mother's idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Overview

  • Katie Price said she is addicted to vaping after resharing an Instagram X-ray warning about rare, irreversible lung disease and writing, "I have to stop."
  • Unnamed sources report relatives are very worried about her habit, with partner JJ Slater described as concerned but feeling limited in what he can do.
  • Her mother, Amy, has long battled idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and received a lung transplant in 2022, which intensifies relatives' fears.
  • Price has been filmed or photographed vaping in public on several occasions, including on a train in 2024, near her infant niece in March, and reportedly during a live show.
  • Officials say vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and there is no public report of a diagnosis linking Price’s own health to vaping.
