Here are some points:
- Because of genetics, some people metabolize caffeine slowly, needing eight hours to rid half of it from the body. Other people require just two hours.
- Quitting caffeine usually brings withdrawal symptoms, including headaches that can last roughly two to nine days.
- People typically consume about 280 mg a day of caffeine, equal to about two average cups of coffee. Heavy consumption is about 400 mg a day.
- Smoking speeds up caffeine metabolism.
- To kick the habit, doctors recommend Tapering off gradually over two to four weeks.
- Quitting caffeine is now listed as a Mental Health Disorder. This occurrence is very rare.
