Answer by  Jane42 (201)

The smell of crack cocaine smoke has been described as similar to burning or melting plastic, rubber or styrofoam. It is somewhat sweet, but is very much a chemical odor. Sometimes it is described as a citrus-like vomit smell. It is generally agreed that the odor is strong and very unpleasant.

All these comments are just too weird for me to believe. I think if you smell plastic, rubber or styrofoam..then that is what you smell.. the strong ordor that is so unpleasant is the B.O. the person's smoking crack is puts out.  add a comment

You are the ONLY one here that mentioned smoking crack smells like the worst case scenario of body odor or discharge. My new room mate has that EXACT smell coming out of her room from time to time... an awful body odor smell, the discharge smell and burnt rubber  add a comment

It definitely has a burnt rubber band odor, sometimes it smells like that purple cabbage that's pickled or whatever they do to it in Ireland. I have an addict mother and she got me into that crap when my father was shipped overseas. This is how I know.  add a comment

Yes, sweet and chemical. It smells like the fumes in a car struckture. The smoke / vapors are white & clear pretty quick. The smell even makes the pets in the house feel nervous. Pets have stronger smell senses than we do, so pets will act different too!

Crack cocaine has a very unique smell. It is a combination of burnt plastic, ink and a sugary smell. It does not smell like pot or cigarette smoke so you can rule those out.

We (NON drug users) find it smells like: Hot Oatmeal with brown sugar on it, with a bit of a cranberry or orange or "fruity" aroma mixed in..like a scented candle almost. Scent gone in under 5mins too...until they smoke again

I agree with all of the others, but to me, it smells like brand new leather. In a chemical sort of way.

Cocaine is a complex hydrocarbon. It would smell like burned sugar, like peanut brittle that has been overcooked but without the peanut smell.

If your son's room smells kind of sweet, like burning plastic or styrofoam he is probably smoking crack and pot. Crack cocaine smells like paint and medicine. Better get him help!

Pot smells NOTHING like what you described, crack does but pot doesn't smell like what you described AT ALL.  add a comment

My sister is in an (what I hoped would be hard for her to get to crack) facility but I noticed on visitations that she looks messed up and smells like sulfur. as a matter of fact I think she rolled in it.... could this be an odor from crack.

My daughter and her boyfriend live with me. I am very familiar with the scent of marijuana, but frequently am plagued by another smell from them and their room; I can only describe it as a mix of burning chrysanthimum and really rancid body odor. I hadn't considered crack before.

That's crack. It kills blood cells which comes out in darker piss and through the pores. Watch the toilet. It really smells bad! Crackheads do not smell it on themselves. Mix of ammonia and funk. Also watch to see if they unconsciously grind their jaws!  add a comment

The courtyard in my apartment complex has a similar order. I first mistook it for a skunk, but realized it was different. I wonder is it a smell similar, but not quite the same as skunk? Like skunk....plus a hint of something like old garbage?

Pot is also called skunk weed.  add a comment

Weed has a skunky smell. People who are not used to it think it smells bad. Nut, it actually smells good.  add a comment

The smell is kind of hard to explain. The easiest way it can be described is it smells a little like the old fashioned camphor oil. If you're under the age of thirty five you probably won't remember. Plus if you have any sinus problems or stuffy nose it'll open that up in short order.

My husband's nephew stays with us. We are suspecting that he is using drugs but we cannot figure out what he is using. After reading the comments below I believe that he is smoking crack. He comes home with an order on him but we can never make it out

Crack cocaine will smell if first blown out of the lung, but will not linger for ever 4 seconds as it is a hydrocarbon the smoke is very light and dissipates very quickly, Crack cocaine is not as bad as Powdered cocaine, health wise, but is more addictive. Synthetic Smell.  add a comment

Ppl are confusing the smell of the crack being smoked and the smell of the people who smoke. When crack is smoked it gives off a chem smell sweet w/ a hint of ammonia. Body clothes and breath of mod/heavy users smell like crap and ammonia (cat urine). Very nasty!

posted by Anonymous
don't judge - sounds like you know ALL too well what a crack user smells like. That means it's either YOU or someone you care/love. Keep ur "Very nasty" to yourself! I am not an addict, but I can commiserate with them.  add a comment

The smell is like a sweet chemical smell from a car perhaps. If that makes sense. But when it settles on your skin it is a pungent odor. Not pleasant at all. It can leave a film on furniture and walls also.

Funny thing is no-one else will admit to smelling it. So I guess most of the tenants do it or don't want to get involved or are friends,family of these drug using idiots. Good people are moving out not many of us left I leaving. As druggies have take over.  add a comment

I am always messing with electronics, and they sometimes burn up on my, or I sometimes burn them. Will anyone think I am smoking crack or meth? Because I am not. Never smelt it either, I have smelt marijuana and it smells good to me.

...I strongly agree with many of the above comments regarding the smell....very chemical odor and you can sense it also with your mouth as a thick filmy presence. My young son became ill from living next door to a crack smoking idiot and the dangers are real from exposure
