Nope at this point you cannot in fact have another cigarette for at least 70 years.

Yes, you can smoke, but it can make your blood sugars a little higher than usual, but not by much. Just don't eat a fatty meal today, and something very sensible tonight. Avoid eating after 6pm if you can, and drink about 1 quart of water before midnight.

Love Dr Frank's answer. You shouldn't really have one. I did and it made a little difference but not much. Jan
