Bella Hadid pledges to quit vaping as she gives up e-cigarettes for her new Year's resolution
It's that time of year when everyone is on a health kick.
And while she may not have any festive pounds to shed, Bella Hadid has a New Year's resolution to follow - she has quit vaping.
Pledging to 'quit Juuling', referencing a brand name, Bella shared a video of herself using one of the e-cigarettes she has now quit.
No more: Bella Hadid pledges to quit vaping as she gives up e-cigs for her new year's resolution, posting old footage to her Instagram on Sunday
The footage showed the 22-year-old model girlfriend of The Weeknd dressed in a black beanie hat and hoodie, staring into the camera as she exhaled.
It's no surprise that Bella is prioritizing her health this new year.
Bella suffers from chronic Lyme disease, blaming her infection with the tick-borne illness for forcing her to end her promising equestrian career, and dreams of Olympic stardom.
'My teenage years were taken from me,' she told the gathering for the Global Lyme Alliance Gala last year.
Showjumping 'was my dream of my life and what I did every single day until I just stopped and realized I didn’t have the brain power to ride horses anymore, so that was the end of that,' she explained.
She has also previously talked of battling anxiety.

'Epidemic' The explosion in vaping amongst young people is worrying health bosses
Making a point: Pledging to 'quit Juuling', referencing a brand name, Bella shared a video of herself using one of the e-cigarettes she has now quit
Juul owns 74 percent of the e-cigarette market. They are similar to standard e-cigarettes but have a sleeker design and a higher concentration of nicotine.
The user inserts a pod of e-liquid, a combination of nicotine and flavorings such as bubble gum or strawberry, into the end of the electronic cigarette, which then vaporizes the liquid for the user to inhale.
Thanks to its 'nicotine salts', manufacturers claim one pod delivers the amount of nicotine as an entire pack of cigarettes.
However the devices are controversial, and have led to an explosion in e-cigarette use by teens and young adults, after years of declining tobacco use. In December the US Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued an advisory urging aggressive steps against e-cigarette use among teens, which he said has become an 'epidemic'.
