If you are in the process of the addiction of smoking and decide to stop in order to complete such a task you must quit first.

I always say I "stopped smoking" instead of quit, I still feel the urge to smoke... Never really thought of it

The other addicts are more organized, and more tired of the "Don't be a quitter" joke than cigarette smokers.
