quiting smoking while detoxing???

Does anybody have any advise on whether it's a good idea or bad idea to try to quit smoking while detoxing from hydro?   I'm on day 3 in detoxing and I still feel like utter **** but my brain/thoughts seem clearer.
I want to kick the smoking habit as well but I was wondering if it's best to take it one addition at a time or to try to detox from both of them at once....

Any ideas?  

Day 3 just started...but day 4 here I come!!!

That's what I was thinking because when I start craving I light up and it does help but I wanted to hear if anybody had success with just biting the bullet and fighting both addictions at once.  To be honest, there is no way I could do both anyway so it really doesn't matter.  I just thought since I'm loading up on water and vitamins and stuff now might be a good time.

But, like you say....one day at a time....

Thanks!
