Regardless of which form of use an individual chooses to use, you can be sure that cocaine addiction is likely to happen.
Crack addiction on the other hand has evolved over the last 15 years or so and is also highly addictive. Crack is almost always smoked and like cocaine, almost always ends up in a crack addiction.
