Giving up Smoking - did you pack it up?

Apologies for being picky Mrs Mopp but isn’t it “pack it in” or “give it up”?

PS I gave up in 1973 when I was first pregnant, never had the urge since!

I started work in 1962 and I started smoking because almost everyone smoked. You shared them with your friends, passing the packet round. Embassy gave coupons which you saved and ordered things from the catalogue. On pay day I bought Benson and Hedges (posh) and at the end of the month it was Cadets (cheap). I gave up in 1976 because the price had gone up to 50p and I couldn’t afford it. Best thing I ever did for my health and my pocket h,. How much does a pack of 20 cigarettes cost now?
