With the second hand smoke your still inhaling the same thing she is just not in as high of a quantity. So the effects are the same as smoking minor amounts of crack

I am so sorry for you. Is there a good role model that you can speak to in order for your mom to get help?

Here are some reports that will give you info on secondhand tobacco smoke--in which case, cocaine is going to be just as bad, if not worse:

"That report concluded that children whose parents smoke are more likely to experience respiratory infections and respiratory symptoms."

Secondhand smoke exposure causes children who already have asthma to experience more frequent and severe attacks.

• Secondhand smoke exposure causes respiratory symptoms, including cough, phlegm, wheeze, and breathlessness, among school-aged children.

• Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk for ear infections and are more likely to need an operation to insert ear tubes for drainage.

Is your dad around? If not, do you have a relative you can talk to about this? Your mom can get arrested for her abuse and she is putting you in danger.

Second hand crack smoke can also cause psychosis in children or halucinations.
