Hello. I'm a moderator at a support forum. Like you, I too have taken up smoking to relieve the need to self injure. I've been hospitalized a few times, and have been on medications and seen different therapists. These didn't help me. What I found that did help me was the need to be pysically and mentally healthier. Sometimes, there is no easy way to quit an addiction and an intervention is needed. Here are some support forums that may help you. Take Care and Stay Safe!
Speaking to your doctor will be much better than smoking.

For me, as I'm a cutter i always wear an elastic band around my wrist. When i feel like cutting, i give myself a good twang with the band. This not only helps me to stop cutting but brings me back to reality, with a short, sharp shock!
