Answer 1

I agree with Antti, better practice would be to implement some checkpoint(s) where the thread checks if it should terminate. These checkpoints can be implemented in a number of ways e.g.: a shared variable with lock or an event that the thread checks if it is set (the thread can opt to wait zero time).
