“He stuck a needle in here twice and then sucked out all the juice and then he took a sharp thing and cut it in two places and squeezed out all the goo in here,” she wrote. “I cried and it hurt a lot, but I’m fine.”
She then explained that she planned to give up vaping for a while, but said she wouldn’t throw it away if a fan suggested it.
“Throwing them away just causes panic. I’m addicted but I’m not weak,” the singer wrote. “I literally stared at my vape today, which I would normally have puffed a thousand times a day, and instead took two. I’m trying to go cold turkey first, but hopefully by then my brain won’t need it at all.
She went on to say that throwing the vape away wouldn’t help because “Right now I NEED YOU. I don’t WANT them because I’m in pain. But my brain is addicted to it.”
