• We use used to + bare infinitive(V₁) to talk about a past situation that is no longer true. It tells us that there was a repeated action or state in the past which has now changed.
  Example: She used to be a long-distance runner when she was younger.
                    I didn't use to sleep very well, but then I started doing yoga and it really helps.

Therefore, the correct form of the sentence should be: She told us that in the past she used to smoke, but now she has quit smoking.
