I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you are going to stop. I hope I'm wrong but you need to take the attitude that you are going to quit right now. You can't say let's begin in a week after I have finished smoking all my cigarettes. You'll never succeed if you think that way.

The cigarettes are the enemy. You are a slave to them. You need to beat them down now, not in a week.

Actually if you read the literature or talk to a Dr, they all say to plan a date and stick to it.

All it takes is a committed decision, with no turning back and changes to the "habits" the person uses to smoke. (meals, car, work breaks, etc.)

A date is not essential, but it DOES help. Must be mentally prepared & have a support system in place.

I'm going to go for it. I'm like you though I'll have to quit drinking for a while as well. Beer goes too good with smokes.

Should I start smoking to keep the balance of the universe in order?

Yes, I'm sick of covering for your lazy azz. Drink your own beer too slacker! Geez, I have to do everything around here.
