Toyin Abraham Reveals How Her Husband Inspired Her To Quit Sm*k!ng

According to Ireporter Online, Nigerian actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has revealed that she quit smoking cigarettes following strong advice and a firm warning from her husband, actor Kolawole Ajeyemi, after the birth of their child.

Speaking during an appearance on The Morayo Show, the actress described her husband as a major positive influence in her life, noting that his guidance played a key role in her decision to stop cigarette use during and after pregnancy.

She explained that Ajeyemi initially advised her to quit smoking while she was pregnant and later reinforced his stance after childbirth when he noticed her smoking during an outing. According to her, although he did not confront her immediately, he later made it clear that he would not tolerate seeing cigarette remnants around their child, warning that such behaviour could end their marriage.

Abraham disclosed that the ultimatum became a turning point for her, leading her to give up cigarettes, although she admitted she occasionally uses a vape.

The actress also spoke on her husband’s attitude toward her career, describing him as mature and supportive, particularly regarding her acting roles. She added that she is now at a stage in her career where she no longer needs to take kissing roles as she did earlier in her journey.
