Accra: Veteran Ghanaian Hiplife musician Reggie Rockstone has revealed that he stopped smoking because of his asthma condition. In a recent interview on Joy FM, Rockstone shared how giving up smoking was part of several health and lifestyle changes he has made as he grows older.
According to Ghana Web, the rap legend explained that although he experimented with smoking and drinking during his younger years, he later made a conscious decision to change his habits. Rockstone stated, “I have done everything. I never did hard drugs which I thank God because I have a very addictive personality, so I am blessed in that sense. With the ganja, I tried all of that before.”
He emphasized that due to his asthmatic condition, he no longer smokes. Rockstone mentioned, “At this point, being that I am asthmatic, I got no business smoking again. My father was heavy asthmatic, my son has asthma, so I had no business smoking anyway.”
Rockstone also discussed the evolution of his diet and lifestyle. He stated that as he has grown older, he has become more conscious of his health, cutting out red meat early and focusing on hydration and fruit consumption. He mentioned enjoying fruits like watermelon and pawpaw and emphasized his commitment to a consistent workout routine. Additionally, he noted that he no longer consumes red meat, alcohol, or processed sugar as part of his healthier lifestyle choices.
