Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has shared a personal account of how her smoking habit became a serious issue in her marriage to actor Kolawole Ajeyemi.
Abraham revealed that her husband once warned that he would leave the marriage if she refused to quit smoking. She made the disclosure while speaking on The Morayo Show, offering insight into a private experience that eventually influenced her decision to stop smoking cigarettes.
According to reports on the interview, Ajeyemi gave Abraham the ultimatum while she was pregnant. The actress said she had been addicted to cigarettes but eventually decided to give up the habit after her husband made his position clear.
The revelation has attracted attention because it provides a glimpse into the personal challenges faced by one of Nollywood’s most recognisable actresses. It also highlights how lifestyle choices can become a source of disagreement between couples.
Abraham, however, disclosed that although she no longer smokes cigarettes, she still vapes. Her admission has generated further discussion online about the distinction between quitting combustible cigarettes and stopping nicotine use altogether.
The actress portrayed her husband’s intervention as stemming from concern for her rather than an attempt to control her decisions. She said Ajeyemi generally allows her to make her own choices but drew a firm line over smoking.
The couple have been married since 2019 and have a son together. Their relationship has remained a subject of public interest, partly because both are established personalities in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Toyin Abraham has built a successful career spanning acting, film production and entrepreneurship. She is known for appearing in and producing several popular Nollywood productions and has become one of the industry’s prominent figures.
Her latest revelation adds a personal dimension to her public image while renewing conversations about smoking, relationships and the challenges individuals face when trying to change long-standing habits.
