Signs of crack cocaine addiction
Crack Cocaine addiction can develop gradually. Common signs include:
- • Smoking crack cocaine using a pipe, foil, or improvised device

- • Compulsive redosing — using again immediately after the high wears off
- • Rapid weight loss and neglect of food, hygiene, and housing
- • Engaging in risky or criminal behaviour to fund crack use
- • Paranoia and aggression, particularly when "craving"
- • Burn marks on fingers or lips from crack pipes
- • Disappearing for days at a time during "crack runs"
