That is a great Idea! :D
Quitting to smoke is never easy but after the first 3-4 Days it will get easier! *hugshugs* :-*
I stopped smoking on December 29th 2003 after 23 Years of smoking!
So, if I can do it you can do it as well!
*sends good vibrations to you*
And life is so much better w/o stinky cigarettes!

I found this, and it helped me alot when I stopped smoking!
What Happens When You Quit?
Two Hours After Quitting
Nicotine begins to leave your system. Some people may feel withdrawal pangs. This is a good sign. Your body is cleaning itself out. Hang in there. Within two days all the nicotine by-products will be gone.
After Six Hours
Heart rate and blood pressure decrease (although it may take up to a month for them to return to their normal rates).
After Twelve Hours
The carbon monoxide is completely out of your system. Your lungs work more efficiently and you can do more without becoming short of breath.
After Two Days
Your sense of taste and smell sharpen. In addition, your breath, hair, fingers, and teeth will be cleaner.
After One Week
Most withdrawal symptons are completely gone.
After Two Weeks
Your circulation improves. So does your confidence level because you feel good about your progress. You begin to think of yourself as a non smoker.
One To Nine Months
Your body's overall energy level increases. Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease.
Within Two Months
Blood flow improves to your hands and feet, keeping them warmer. Your skin looks healthier.
Within Three Months
The cilia (hair-like cleaning system in the lungs) begin to recover and remove mucous, so you can cough it up, cleaning your lungs and reducing the chance of infection. You may notice increased coughing for a few days.
After A Year
Your risk of lung cancer is reduced and you have less risk of heart disease. Fifteen years after quitting, the risk approaches that of someone who has never smoked.
Appearance
Not only will you feel better, but you'll also look better. Since smoking stains your teeth, gives you stale breath, and causes wrinkles around your eyes and mouth to appear earlier, the sooner you quit the better.
Your Bank Account Also Gets Healthier
Giving up cigarettes is like giving yourself a raise. Think about it. If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, you could save around $1100 a year. Imagine what you could do with that money. Non smokers also pay much less for life insurance premiums.
Your Confidence Soars
Few things compare to the sense of satisfaction you get when you quit smoking. If you can handle quitting smoking, you can handle just about anything.
