Wish

hello everyone,
today, totally by accident, I came across this forum and I find it amazing and very very helpful.
I'm Polish and my english level doesn't satisfy me at all (I've been learning it for 3 years) and I have a lot of question to pose..;]
so firstly, could you help me in this exercice? :
1) "I would prefer you not to smoke, if you don't mind."
using word wish I've to complete the following sentence:
I.........................smoke, if you don't mind.
I would fit the gap with: would rather you didn't but I doubt if it'sappropriate

The instructions are to use the word ' wish ', so of course you cannot insert 'would rather'. I wish you wouldn't smoke, if you don't mind.
