Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has opened up about a phase in her university days when she briefly got hooked on smoking before deciding to quit completely.

Speaking in a recent interview With Chude, the “Johnny” crooner revealed that curiosity led her to try smoking while in school, but it quickly became something she started depending on before bedtime.

According to her, the habit almost became an addiction.

“When I was in university, I tried smoking. It just didn’t work for me. Before it didn’t work out, it worked out a bit too much. I started needing to smoke before I went to bed — I was getting addicted to that lifestyle,” she said.

I think Yemi Alade's story is very honest and reflects a reality that many young people face at some point. The curiosity to try new things, like smoking, may seem harmless at first, but it can quickly become a difficult habit to break. The important thing is that she recognized it wasn't a good idea and decided to stop before it became a real addiction. She's an example of self-awareness and how, sometimes, difficult or dangerous experiences teach us valuable lessons. Social pressure, the search for acceptance, or simply curiosity can lead to complicated situations, but the important thing is to have the courage to stop and change. Yemi Alade's story can also serve as a warning to other young people who may be going through something similar and need to understand that it's always better to make responsible decisions.

She is so lucky she was able to overcome it. I had a friend who started smoking and doing drugs due to peer pressure in school. I don't know if he has changed now though cause we lost contact.
