Brief Answer:
Almost three days
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Crack cocaine takes at least three days to get eliminated from our system along with its metabolites. If any body screens you for urine test you will test positive wishing a period of three days but after passage of 72 hours, there is little chance.
In case they test for hair sample it may take almost three months to show negative.
Having said this it is never safe to smoke when you are pregnant as it may cause long term harm to baby.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
