quit smoking
Abandon the habit
Quit smoking is the act of stopping tobacco use, typically cigarettes.
The phrase functions as a set unit—people try to quit smoking, want to quit smoking, or finally quit smoking.
It implies overcoming addiction rather than simply stopping a casual habit: I quit smoking ten years ago and haven't looked back.
