I have the same concern as moses, but I think gwilson has answered it pretty well. Atkins diet worked for gwilson even whilst smoking, and although he/she says smoking still posed problems after that, it was certainly possible, and he/she feels good about it.
Furthermore, in the introductory blurb of Atkins, it says it can help with tobacco addiction - however, there's absolutely nothing in the induction diet rules about smoking, and apparently that's supposed to be the most strict part of it, unless I'm greatly mistaken. By contrast, it does specifically mention caffeine, which it says can mess up the induction.
So, on the strength of that, I think that I'm going to do it by making sure I'm happy with a successful Atkins induction before I try to control or quit smoking. But I plan to give up coffee completely before I start Atkins.
