Travis Barker's daughter Alabama Barker was recently taken to the hospital in Los Angeles for her nicotine withdrawal. Notably, Alabama had gone cold turkey around a month ago and the medical experts told her that a sudden stop to smoking vape pens can result in withdrawals, even if it has been used occasionally, as per the New York Post.
For the unversed, cold turkey refers to a process used to quit tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. According to Healthline, an individual might not feel like using the drug or tobacco product again if they get rid of the same.
19-year-old Alabama has gained recognition for her singles like Heartbreaker and Our House. She has also been featured in the second season of Meet the Barkers.
Alabama Barker was alone at home when she suffered the withdrawal
A report by TMZ stated that Alabama Barker got in touch with 911 when she started having the withdrawal. She was feeling unwell at the same time and was alone at home.
Alabama used to smoke vape on different occasions and she reportedly opted to quit the habit after deciding to establish herself in the world of rapping. Furthermore, she was approached by certain personalities involved with the music industry, who told her that the continuous use of vape might lead to a negative impact on her voice.
While further updates are awaited on when Alabama Barker was hospitalized, she has already returned home and even shared an Instagram Story with a photo featuring flowers that she received on the occasion of her birthday on December 24, 2024.
Notably, people who have been addicted to drugs like heroin might have trouble quitting them since they lead to physical changes in the brain, resulting in cravings and withdrawal symptoms when the person stops taking them immediately, as stated by Healthline.
There are certain symptoms of cold turkey, including diarrhea, pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, runny nose, and more. Other symptoms include anxiety, depression, confusion, hallucination, and irritability.

The price of all the gifts sums up to almost $300,000, including a Hermès Birkin bag and a bracelet. There was also a pair of wolly gloves alongside diamond necklaces, earrings, a Prada pouch, and a Chrome Hearts purse, as per the Irish Sun.

Alabama Barker also disclosed the gifts she received from her father, saying that Travis gave her diamond earrings along with a "Cartier Love Bracelet", which has been common every year, as per People magazine.
On the other hand, Alabama was in the headlines earlier this month after rapper Bhad Bhabie claimed that she stole her boyfriend Le Vaughn. Bhad also posted some screenshots of Alabama's alleged conversations with Vaughn.
However, Alabama later said in an Instagram Story that Vaugh reportedly tried to manipulate Bhad and she had no idea of Vaugh's relationship with the artist.
