Speaking as someone who cut out caffeine cold turkey, it's a different thing

I got stinking headaches for a week, but not an overwhelming urge to drink caffeine

When smokers quit, they almost always describe the urge to smoke rather than the physical side effects, often described more like hunger.

This is exactly my experience after not drinking coffee for 1-2 days. Headaches that make the thought of drinking coffee slightly disgusting.
