>>281264 Smelling salts release toxic ammonia [NH3] gas, which irritates the mucous membranes of the nose and lungs, and thereby triggers an inhalation reflex (that is, it causes the muscles that control breathing to work faster). Even though ammonia gas is considered toxic, smelling salts produce only a small amount.
Its a very small amount, just a wiff. I'm sure if it was quite detrimental to ones health, you would see it a lot less...
