Too Soon to quit smoking? Earlier Sobriety

I need to quit smoking but am worried that it might be piling on too much at once. I am about 4 months sober.

When I have I quit smoking in the past I was really mentally prepared but right now it is just coming down to I don't feel like paying $8 for a pack of cigarettes. The money isn't going to be the end of me but I have better ways to spend it.

On the flipside, because I am not prepared and I am not in the right mindset I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. I know I can quit but it will be more of a suffering it out than a telling myself I quit "get over it" mentality. I read Allan Carr's (sp) book on quitting and it didn't help or get me motivated.

So quitting smoking early in sobriety...

Any suggestions? Studies that show whether or not this may be a good or bad idea?
