HEP C transmission: Why are you taking these risks with your health? " Snorting drugs like cocaine often requires a device like a straw or rolled bill. Sharing equipment for snorting can lead to the transmission of Hep C." REF: https://www.catie.ca/en/practical-guides/hepc-in-depth/prevention-harm-reduction/safer-snorting
