Psychiatrist,  's  Response
well, snorting and smoking are equally addictive and harmful. Snorting leading to respiratory complications as the drug directly enters lungs, while smoking deposits carbon onto lungs and thickens arteries leading to cardiac complications. Both in long run increases the chances of cancer and infections. Therfore there is no safer route entries as such for drugs.
I suggest a psychiatrist can help you deal with the addiction problem.
