I been exposed to crack cocaine my whole life? My mother is the one who does it. When I inhale it, I immediately get headaches or stomach aches.I did a little research but would love to hear from others. Someone please tell me the effects of this second-hand smoke? Thank You.

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

Thank you for that? In your opinion I'm so lost what shall I do about this?

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.

My neighbours smoke crack and I can smell the smoke seeping into my apartment. I live in an old building and I can smell when they smakoe cigaretts and drugs. I recently had a hair folicle drug test done for some other issues.. and it showed that I am being exposed to secondhand crack concaine.. and I have never been around that or anyone smoking that. How can I prove that it is my neighbour. Because the test proves that I don't smoke.. please help..

How does the test prove that you don't smoke? Also, how was it determined that it was second-hand smoke? Please post the results of the test and I'll have a look at it.
