Popular Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, has shared a revelation about her personal addiction.

The 'Johnny' crooner, while speaking in a recent interview with media personality Chude, Yemi Alade revealed that she used to smoke.

According to her, during her days in the university, she tried smoking, although it was for a short period, however, she became an addict before she eventually quit the act.

Explaining how she quit, she revealed that she made a conscious effort about her decisions, stating that if she was going to hide to do something, she wouldn't do it at all. She also added that smoking harmed her voice, however, she was able to stop within a year.

She said:
"Some people say I don’t smoke, I don’t this, I don’t that. When I was in the university I tried smoking. I did not work out. But before it did not work out, it worked out a bit too much. I started needing to smoke before I go to bed. I was getting addicted to that lifestyle. But also, in public, I would hide the cigarette.

“So, I was like, ‘What’s this life; the discomfort that I can’t go to bed without smoking and then when I go out, I am going to hide the cigarette? As a teenager in the university trying to figure out life, I also made certain decisions for myself that if I’m going to hide to do something, I will not do it. Because I like to be aware of my environment and my decisions. And I just said I don’t think cigarettes are for me.

“They are not for me. And they harmed me, they affected my voice anyways. So I stopped. Smoking for me did not last up to a year."
