Alabama Barker, the 19-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, faced a terrifying health scare recently after quitting vape pens cold turkey. According to TMZ, the aspiring rapper was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital due to severe nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Sources close to the situation revealed that Alabama had been an occasional vaper but decided to kick the habit after focusing more seriously on her music career this year. Industry professionals advised her to quit vaping, citing the negative effects it can have on her voice.

Alabama made the bold decision to quit abruptly about a month ago, but the sudden change left her feeling unwell and panicked while home alone. Concerned for her health, she dialed 911 and was transported to a local hospital.

Medical experts determined Alabama’s symptoms were linked to nicotine withdrawal, explaining that quitting cold turkey without gradually reducing intake can lead to such reactions. Fortunately, Alabama was able to recover quickly and even celebrate her birthday, which fell on Christmas Eve, surrounded by love and support.

This ordeal may have been frightening, but it’s clear Alabama is turning the page and moving forward stronger than ever.
