Tammy Slaton's revelation about her secret vaping habit sparked mixed reactions from fans.

"Tammy vaping and trying to hide it from her medical team before a major surgery is crazyyy," one wrote.

Another expressed, "So here’s Tammy being her normal, selfish self, refusing to do what’s best for her body. Screw that her family put their lives on hold to take care of her. I am not surprised that she’s vaping, she never cared about her health before, why should she now??"

Expressing frustration at her choices, a person said, "So Tammy took her Mitch McConnell-looking a** all the way to PA to waste everyone’s time, knowing she vapes and the doctors won’t do surgery on her because of that."
