A couple of people would argue that most Nigerian artistes smoke. These same people would confidently give you reasons why these artistes smoke and how without it they cannot perform on stage, create music, find the right words, amongst other reasons.

But some artistes have publicly stated that they do not smoke via their various social media handles, at interviews, etc.

Below is a list of Nigerian artistes that do not smoke in no particular order:

Never smoked sh!t in my entire life AG Baby responded

Mr. Eazi

Married to Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire, Femi Otedola, Mr Eazi; whose birth name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade has stated that he does not smoke.

During an interview with Vanguard in 2017, when asked if the rumours that he smokes and takes alcohol before going on stage was true, Eazi said: To be honest i feed off the energy of the crowd, thats why i dont perform where people are just sitting down so just think about it. Ive not performed where anybody is sitting down before; i drink water and not alcohol, its the energy from the crowd that gingers me. If the crowd is energetic Ill also be energetic, if the crowd is dull then itll affect me, ill just vibe through the session and move on.

It is very possible that there are other artistes who do not smoke that are not on this list mainly because they are yet to publicly announce it. However, remember that smoking is not healthy and smokers are liable to die young. (The Nation)
