Why I stopped trying to quit smoking – Omah Lay

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Omah Lay has announced that he is no longer attempting to quit smoking. In a recent podcast conversation with DJ Dan, the 'Soso' singer disclosed that he had previously attempted to break the habit multiple times but found it challenging. Omah Lay explained that he has now come to terms with the fact that he will still eventually succumb to death, regardless of his smoking habit.

He emphasized that smoking provides him with a sense of "artificial happiness" and rebellion, as cannabis use is prohibited in Nigeria. The singer expressed his enthusiasm for smoking, stating that he loves it and has found it difficult to stop even when he forced himself to do so. Omah Lay concluded by stating that he aims for inner peace while enjoying his smoking routine, acknowledging that his life is finite and that he intends to make the most of it.
