@Saliu_ade: “2019-2021 was one of the craziest times for peer pressure. People were no longer forced into just one bad habit, it suddenly became smoking, drinking, wood and reckless lifestyles. The pandemic gave people more time and resources to explore unhealthy habits. If you survived that period without getting lost in it, honestly, you did well.”

@Abdulrasheed_YK: “One thing with smokers is that at first they think they’re rough guys, not knowing they’re smoking slow and steady.”

@manlike37512:”Omo, I thank God for my mom, I love you mom, I would have been in rehab or about to get out of rehab, but she wouldn’t give up on me until I changed and now I’m clean. Looking back now and all I can say is thank you sir, thank you mom and me for believing I could!”
