The musician Camidoh from Ghana has strongly defended smoking and suggested that it is not always a bad thing.
In defense of himself, he says, “Not everything that is depicted negatively is negative.”
He said, “If it is bad for you, it is bad for you,” in response to a question about whether smoking is harmful or not. The physicians need to recognize that.
“They generally say we should not smoke because it is bad for our lungs,” he went on. How about the kenkey our parents have been making? When they play Kenkey, do you notice how smoky it gets?
I just wanted to let you know that you do not need to think about that. Because I am telling a story, it is not bad in my opinion,” he said to Roselyn Felli on the Prime Morning program.
The well-known crooner has drawn a lot of criticism for encouraging people to smoke despite the risks to their health that come with it. His opinions have also been rejected by some medical professionals, who emphasize that smoking is harmful to one’s health because it can lead to lung cancer, eye issues, and damage to the optic nerve. They advise smokers to quit.
