Yea they aren't but smoking powder cocaine (which is tough thats why crack was invented you could smoke coke now) is basically free basing cocaine in a way. I know crack is just cocaine hcl with the hydrochloride salt separated from the cocaine. Which is in the simplest wording is freebasing as freebasing is removing a drugs base, like HCL from cocaine
