Hi,

Snorting drugs especially cocaine damages the tissues of the nose over time. it can even lead to formation of holes in the partition between the nostrils. This happens because the tissues are delicate and get damaged by the chemicals. If you continue snorting, you may end up with more serious damage to your nose.

Best wishes.
