I'm thinking about getting a pork belly and trying my hand at smoking some bacon. My question is
do you smoke it with the skin on and then remove it or do you remove the skin before you cure it and smoke?

Smoke won't really penetrate the skin, I'd recommend skin off.

Skin off. I have seen posts on other sites that some people lightly smoke the skin by itself and then make cracklins.
