it could damage your mucus membranes. Wouldn't go so far to say cancer.

If you share a rolled up note or straw for snorting drugs you risk exposing yourself and others to hepatitis C. This is especially true if your nose is bleeding. Cocaine in particular is very alkaline and corrosive to the thin membranes in the nose. If even tiny drops of your blood, too small to see, get onto the straw or note and someone else then uses it, it is quite possible for them to sniff the blood up into their own nasal membranes.

you can catch an infection if you share straws with someone. If you have throat cancer, the cocaine would prolly make the pain go away immedieatly for a while.

You just end up looking ugly while you on it. Bony, desperate, and red nosed. Plus you start begging people to buy things so you can get money to support your habit. I hate crackheads.

it eventually eats away at your sinuses. there is so much crap in coke anyway. its never pure. be more worried about what the hell random white powder has been cut into what you're shoving up your nose. baking power, detergent, etc.

yes. the cartilage that separates your nostrils develops holes in it.
