Yeah,

I wouldn't suggest anyone pick up smoking to stop drinking, but if it's something you already do, and it helps you get over a craving, I see no reason why not to go with it for now.
When I quit drinking, I smoked more than I ever have, and after a couple weeks, I was back at the level I started at with cigarettes. It's not the greatest, but it beats the alternative, IMHO.
TB.
