Explanation

The phrasal verb 'give up' means to stop doing something, especially a habit like smoking. 'Give up smoking' means to quit or stop the smoking habit. 'Give in' means to surrender, 'give to' indicates transfer, and 'give off' means to release or emit - none of which mean quitting a habit.
