Reasons Why I Stop Smoking, Korede Bello

 Popular singer Korede Bello recently appeared on the "Say My Piece" podcast hosted by actress Omotunde Adebowale David (Lolo1).During the interview,Bello discussed the impact his surroundings had on him while growing up.

While specific details weren't mentioned, Bello did share that he observed certain behaviors as a child that shaped his experiences.

"There were things I experimented with when I was younger, outside of childhood, that were common around me. I tend to have a personality that gets easily hooked on things I enjoy, so they can become habits," he said.

Despite his father being a smoker and even sending him on errands for cigarettes, Korede Bello revealed his dad actually discouraged the habit.

"My dad smoked a lot, and as a kid, I'd run errands to get him cigarettes. I noticed he coughed a lot, so I'd ask, 'Dad, why do you cough?' He'd say, 'It's from the cigarettes. Don't smoke if you don't want to cough like me,'" Bello recalled.

He explained that his father's advice and his own observations led him to believe smoking is generally unhealthy.
