Teacher, why do we say "stop smoking" but also "stop to smoke"? I'm confused.

Great question, Rithy! "Stop + V-ing" (Stop smoking) means you quit the habit. "Stop + to Verb" (Stop to smoke) means you stop what you are currently doing *in order to* smoke. For now, just remember that "finish" and "give up" ALWAYS take -ing! 🌱
