Toyin Abraham Shares Her Husband’s Firm Warning About Smoking
Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has opened up about how her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, played a pivotal role in helping her quit smoking cigarettes after she became pregnant.
She explained that, since learning of her pregnancy, she no longer smokes cigarettes and only uses a vape occasionally.
During her pregnancy, her husband reminded her that smoking was no longer an option. His words stayed with her throughout that period.
After giving birth, the couple went out and Toyin smoked a cigarette. Her husband noticed but chose not to argue. Instead, he made his position clear.
He told her that while she was free to make her own choices about smoking or drinking, he would not tolerate their child picking up either habit.
According to Toyin, her husband went further, saying that if he ever found cigarettes or alcohol in their child’s hands, it would mark the end of their marriage.
She quoted him directly: “My husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He let me be me. I used to smoke cigarettes before, but I don’t anymore. Now, I just smoke vape once in a while, but I stopped smoking cigarettes.”
“My husband told me something when I got pregnant. He said, ‘I hope you know you can’t smoke anymore. When I gave birth, we went out, I smoked, he saw me, and he didn’t say anything. He just said, ‘I’m not stopping you from smoking or drinking alcohol, but the day I see it in the hand of my child, that will be the end of our marriage.’”
