Detailed explanation-1: -’Stop’ is normally used with a gerund. It shows that an action ended. He stopped (what he was doing) to smoke a cigarette. ‘Stop’ is used with an infinitive to mean that an action was stopped in order to do something else.
Detailed explanation-2: -stop. Stop +-ing means the action is not happening any more. I’ve stopped buying the newspaper because now I read the news online. Stop + to + infinitive means that someone or something stops an activity so that they can do something else.
