Ebuka stated that he began smoking in junior secondary school in a recent episode of the MENtality podcast featuring Banky W and Aproko Doctor.
He claims that the habit got worse while he was in college, when he smoked up to two packs of cigarettes every day.
“But I started smoking in JSS 3, and I smoked for 13 years. In university, I was doing about two packs a day,” he said.
He credited conscious, intentional steps for helping him overcome the addiction.
Banky W also shared a personal account, revealing he developed a pornography addiction while trying to stop being promiscuous.
He explained he initially viewed it as a way to avoid relationships with multiple women, but realised he had replaced one harmful habit with another.
Ebuka concurred, pointing out that a lot of people trade one addiction for another in an effort to get rid of the first.
