NFL prohibits use of ammonia inhalers and smelling salts during games due to harmful effects
The NFL announced a ban on the use of ammonia inhalants, including smelling salts, during games due to safety concerns and the lack of evidence supporting their efficacy. The ban applies to all team personnel and was recommended by the league’s Head, Neck, and Spine Committee. The use of ammonia inhalants has been a common practice among NFL players, but the potential risks, including masking neurological signs of a concussion, have prompted this ban. Players like George Kittle have expressed disappointment over the ban, as they have used ammonia inhalants to boost mental alertness and energy during games.
