American rapper Snoop Dogg has announced that he has decided to quit smoking. According to the news website CNN, he was specifically referring to marijuana, the use of which he had proudly claimed for years. Some users of social networks attribute the decision to a health aspect, but according to others, it may be a well-thought-out marketing move, writes the BBC news website.
“After much consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided to quit smoking,” Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, said on Instagram, where he is followed by 82.5 million people. “Please respect my privacy,” he added.
The announcement may come as a surprise to many fans, as the rapper has not hidden his love for marijuana and in 2014 even he claimed, that he also smoked it in the toilets in the White House. Five years later, the rapper he declaredthat he has an employee whose only job is to pack marijuana cigarettes for him.
In 2021, he revealed on the online forum reddit that he was taking 81 smoke breaks a day. He also often mentioned marijuana in his texts and invested in the company Casa Verde Capital, which focuses on cannabis start-ups, writes CNN.
But some fans speculate that the current Instagram post is meant to be an advertisement for the rapper’s cannabis company Leafs By Snoop, which specializes in breeding its own varieties, producing extracts and candies from cannabis, writes the BBC.
Many social media users were shocked by the rapper’s announcement. “Today isn’t April Fools Snoop,” one said. “Snoop without weed is like Earth without water,” wrote another. Others think Snoop Dogg may have been motivated to quit smoking for health reasons. “I had a pulmonary embolism last year and had to quit smoking too,” wrote a fan on Instagram. Another on the X network speculated that the rapper has decided to “give his lungs a break” but will continue to consume marijuana in a different form.
Experts warn that excessive consumption of marijuana can result in anxiety, paranoia, dyslexia, loss of appetite and hallucinations and increases the risk of developing schizophrenia, writes the BBC.
