Quit smoking

When you stop smoking, we usually say quit smoking, or give up smoking. After quit or give up, we use the verb in the -ing form.
There could be many things to give up or to quit, but smoking might be at the top of the list.
I'm writing this because I was just at the English Lunch that we have once a month here at InfoJobs, and we were talking about smoking, and giving it up.
Here in Spain, you can't smoke in restaurants or bars anymore, but a lot of people here still smoke. Maybe not as much as they used to, but they haven't quit yet. I can sympathize, because it seems very difficult to quit!
Nonetheless, It worries me about some of my colleagues. I really care about them, and I don't want them to have health problems later on that they could avoid by quitting. I hope that they'll decide to quit as soon as possible!
