If you snort often enough to get addicted it won't happen in 10 years, in fact you probably won't live long enough.

Seems like you haven't tried coke. I don't have wikipedia to back me up, I have my friends.

I've snorted plenty of coke, as have most of the people I know. Numbers are numbers, and cocaine dependence generally takes a very long time to form. I understand that people can get addicted much faster than this, but those are anecdotal accounts.

The study itself discusses how previous studies had suggested a more "explosive" addiction potential where the first two years were the highest risk, and then goes into various reasons why their findings might be different. Definitely worth the read.

Now if you use it like once a month you can go a lifetime without getting addicted.

I guess it all really depends on how often and how much you snort, I can hardly believe that someone who does cocaine on a regular basis (say three times a week at the most) can not be addicted after a year of use, not mentioning the risks you take and situations you go through just for more coke, 10 years of coke seems long enough to kill somebody.

Now if you use it like once a month you can go a lifetime without getting addicted.

That's probably part of the reason that whatever source my textbook was using came to its conclusion--it's a lot more common for new smokers to smoke a lot of cigs every week than it is for someone to snort tons of coke every week. We use nicotine in a way that is more prone to addiction.
