schema:text	Last Updated on September 23, 2021 by Team THIP Quick Take A Facebook post claims using salt to curb the craving for a smoke. We Fact-checked and found that the claim has no scientific validation. We term this as False. The Claim The claim posted across multiple platforms suggests “Whenever you get the urge to smoke, lick a little salt with the top of your tongue. This will relieve the temptation instantly….” A number of media platforms also included this claim in their articles. Such posts can be seen here and here. A screenshot of the post is given below. Fact Check Can salt help to curb cravings for a smoke? No. There is no scientific evidence to this claim. There is absolutely no research that supports the claim. We reached out to experts to seek their opinion on the issue. Addiction Psychiatrist with NIMHANS, Dr. Prabhat Chand, MD suggests, “At least in my knowledge, there is no evidence-based literature in this. Professionally, I will not advise anyone on this method.” Tobacco Cessation Trainer and Treatment Counsellor, Dr. Surabhi Somani Ladda says, “There are certain loose claims that consuming salty foods or plain salt can minimize the craving to smoke. There is absolutely no strong medical research or article that can support these claims to the bare minimum. In my clinical experience too, I haven’t found anyone who could curb the craving by licking salt.” Can I still try licking salt? Maybe, it will help…. Licking on salt can be a dangerous habit since medical research has linked high salt intake to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. The National Health Service (NHS), UK website suggests “Adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day.” What are the recommended ways to curb cravings for smoking? Research done by National Institute on Drug Abuse in the US suggests behavioral treatment or counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and medicines are ways to help people to quit cigarettes. A 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) report recommends, “behavioral or pharmacological interventions” to help smokers quit.
