| The risk for becoming dependant in the first two years of use is 5-6%, while becoming dependant within 10 years of first use increases to 15-16%. Studies show that the chances of becoming dependant on cocaine was lower when individuals snorted cocaine; higher when smoking, and much higher for injecting. Women are 3.3 times more likely to become dependent when compared to men.
