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. Those who started at a younger age, 12-13, were four times more likely to become dependent when compared to those who started at ages 18-20. The peak age for dependence is at ages 23-25.
