In our world today, most reggae musicians are usually tagged as excessive smokers.

For many of them in the music field, it is suspected that this practice helps them in the discharge of their work as musicians.

Some citizens believe that these reggae musicians engage in smoking to get them ‘high’ in their music business.

Others claim that smoking is what brings most reggae musicians into reality for the composition of their genre of music.

On Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday, Ghanaian reggae artiste, Black Prophet distanced himself from those notions, emphasising “My lungs are for breathing, not smoking.”

Although he acknowledged the stereotype, he stated that he had never engaged in smoking.

He added that smoking is a habit which you learn and it is a choice.

"Smoking is a habit, you choose to learn it and that's what makes you. It's a choice I made not to learn how to smoke."

He added that it's not on a prospectus for Rastafarians to learn how to smoke.

Even though he doesn’t condemn people who engage in smoking, he believes every individual must live a life that makes them happy.
