What are the various health consequences of Snorting Drugs i.e. Intranasal Insufflation?

The delicate epithelial tissues that line the nasal cavities and air passages may be damaged by direct contact with drugs. Various drugs are sold as hydrochloride salts which may yield dilute hydrochloric acid when they come into contact with moisture. In the nasal passages the acid can "burn" the delicate nasal tissues, resulting in open sores, nose bleeds, and possibly in deterioration of the nasal cartilage.
