> ① 三年前、「俺は今日を限りにタバコをやめるんだ！」といったアイツは昨日煙草による肺癌で死んじまった。

The sentence above was corrected by numerous Japanese people as in the
following sentence.

> ① 三年前、「俺は今日限りでタバコをやめるんだ！」といったアイツは昨日煙草による肺癌で死んじまった。

What's the difference between these two expressions? When should one be used
over the other? (I asked this question as well, but I was told that it's hard
even for Japanese people.)

question
grammar
「～を限りに」 vs「～限りで」
"今日を限りに" is little formal sentence, I feel.

I feel both are fine. To me, 今日を限りに sounds a little more pompous and stilted.
But in this case it's not a bad word choice because it expresses the guy's
resolution well.
