Hi brokenhalo, Welcome!!

There seems to be two schools of thought on the subject. Personally I think it depends a whole lot on the individual and their comfort zone. I started smoking in recovery and quit around a year later. Getting the support here worked wonders for me and it was easier than expected. My feet were firmly planted in sobriety when I quit however.

For me personally if I had smoked going into recovery I definitely would not have tried to quit at one week. I would have felt safer doing it immediately than at one week. My mind was not ready for another major change at one week after just accepting quitting another substance. Quitting when I was firmly in sobriety worked well for me.
