Don't worry Michele - I bet your psychiatrist will definately write you a note and for sure they'll excuse you. I'm not a smoker but - would keeping your mouth busy help -like shelling sunflower or pumpkin seeds. My husband tried the 'green cigarette'- it looks like a cigarette, battery operated and you inhale a nicotine vapour that's not as strong as a real cigarette. Try not to worry, I'm almost positive you'll be released from jury duty.
