Quitting caffeine cold-turkey is worse than quitting cigarettes cold turkey IMO - the headaches are awful. But aside from that, nicotine addiction is way worse. Even when I drank ~20 "cups" of coffee a day, I didn't have cravings or headaches unless I somehow managed to go several hours after waking up without having any at all. Nicotine cravings are frequent and sporadic and prevent you from focusing on anything else for more than a few seconds at a time.

With cigarettes, there's also the fact that you actually have to, well, smoke cigarettes. Sometimes that's great (if you're used to it), but when you have a sore throat, forcing yourself to smoke a cigarette one painful drag at a time is a horrible experience. Juul is a huge step up this way, though it comes with other issues.
