Q: Can we have cigarettes while following the General Motors diet plan for seven days? Also, can we use spices in less quantity to enhance the taste of the food?

A:I don't need to tell you that cigarette smoking is injurious to health. I presume that you are doing the GM diet to achieve some health benefit out of it, like to lose weight. If you have taken the initiative to make a change towards your health, why contradict it by smoking? Spices in a small quantity to make the diet palatable are acceptable.
