Women who prepare Ga Kenkey would have been dead if smoking is bad – Camidoh
Ghanaian musician Camidoh has put up a strong defence for smoking; indicating that it may not necessarily be bad.
His defence is that “not everything that is portrayed as negative is negative’.
When asked to give a definitive answer on whether smoking is bad, he said, “If it’s bad for you, it is bad for you. The doctors have to detect that.
He continued, “Generally, they say we shouldn’t smoke because it’s bad for our lungs. How about our parents who have been cooking kenkey? You see them when they are making kenkey, you see how smoky it gets?
”just want to tell you, you don’t have to dwell on that…It is not bad in my eyes because I’m telling a story,” he told Roselyn Felli on Prime Morning show.
Following his comment , the renowned crooner has received heavy backlash for urging people to smoke, irrespective of the health risks it imposes on smokers. Some health practitioners have also dismissed his views, emphasizing that smoking was indeed detrimental to health as it caused lung cancer, eye problems, and optic nerve damage, thus warning smokers to desist from the act.
