How My Husband Got Me To Quit Smoking Cigarettes – Toyin Abraham

Toyin Abraham, the Nigerian filmmaker, has described her husband Kolawole Ajeyemi as “one of the best things that has ever happened to me,” crediting him for influencing her decision to quit cigarette smoking.

Speaking on the Morayo Show, the 43-year-old actress revealed that Ajeyemi gave her a stern ultimatum during her pregnancy to choose between their marriage or the risk of influencing their child into smoking.

“Kolawole Ajeyemi is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He lets me be me. I used to smoke cigarettes. I still smoke vape once in a while. But I stopped smoking cigarettes,” she said.

“My husband told me something when I got pregnant that ‘you know you can no longer smoke’.”

The award-winning film star recounted how her husband addressed the issue after she gave birth.

“When I gave birth, we went out, and he saw me smoking; he did not say anything. But he told me that he did not say I should not smoke cigarettes, but must not see the butt with his child,” he said.

“He warned that anytime he sees such, that would be the end of the marriage.”

Abraham, who tied the knot with Ajeyemi in 2019 and welcomed their first child later that year, also addressed how her husband handles her on-screen romantic roles.

She said his maturity as “a man, not a boy” means he has no issues with her work.

“About kissing in movies, my husband is mature. He is not a boy. He is a man. Most of my colleagues ‘ wives are comfortable with me. I can do every other thing. But ‘promiscuity’ is not one of them,” she said.

“God has blessed me with a platform now; I do not have to kiss anybody like years past.”
