My sister and I were wee little ones who one week brought home scads of stuff given to us by our school from the American Cancer society. We went running up to our dad screaming "We don't want you to die daddy!" with all that childish exuberance, and he quit cold turkey the next day.

There's something very wholesome about the thing you asked of him that you thought was simple ("just stop") and the mountain he moved to give you want you asked for.

You should BOTH be very proud that he did that. Quitting smoking can be very difficult.
