Smoking

Hello.
I'm new here and have a Class One exam at Gatwick this week.
Regrettably i have been smoking cigarettes for almost ten years and while i obviously feel fit, i am mainly concerned with the lung function testing.
During the past month I have reduced the amount I smoke from 20 to 10. Now I'm on 7-10 cigarettes a day with my exam in a few days.

I would love to go cold turkey until then but while i am keen for my body to dispel as much nicotine as possible, i am concerned about the side effects.
I don't want my anxiexty and pressure to increase further on the day and also i'm worried about coughing up (which is a common side effect of quitting).

Any reassurance or advice is most welcome.
Thank You.
