According to sources close to the situation, the 19-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler occasionally used vape pens. However, her focus on a music career prompted her to take a serious step toward quitting the habit earlier this year.

As Alabama, who is pursuing rap, began dedicating herself to her craft, industry professionals reportedly advised her to stop vaping due to its detrimental effects on vocal health. Acting on this advice, she quit about a month ago.

Sources say Alabama’s sudden decision to quit vaping led to a distressing episode. While alone one day, she began feeling unwell and panicked. Concerned for her health, she called 911 and was transported to a nearby hospital.

Medical staff examined Alabama and explained that she was experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms. According to the professionals, quitting cold turkey—especially after using vape pens occasionally—can lead to significant withdrawal effects.

Fortunately, the health scare didn’t stop Alabama from celebrating her 19th birthday on Christmas Eve. She shared a heartfelt moment on Instagram, posting a photo of birthday balloons and an array of flowers sent by loved ones.

There’s much for Alabama to celebrate lately. Earlier this month, she released her debut rap music video for the track “Vogue,” which featured a cameo from her stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian.

With her recent experience, Alabama could now consider becoming an advocate against vaping—a role that might complement her growing resume!
