weightlifters use ammonia salts before big lifts, probably that
There is something similar to what you're talking about - smelling salts.
You can see them be used here. Obviously it's not as effective as trying to lift a boulder off your baby but you know, close enough.
> Regularly used?
Yes, they are regularly used in powerlifting and football, and not just to wake people up from getting knocked out. "They are also used as a form of stimulant in athletic competitions (such as powerlifting, strong man and ice hockey) to "wake up" competitors to perform better. Athletes such as Vladimir Tarasenko, Phil Kessel, Alexander Ovechkin, Tyler Seguin, Sean Monahan, Derick Brassard, Keith Kinkaid, Ilya Kovalchuk, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Carlos Boozer, Samuel Eto'o, David Desharnais, Greg Hardy, Johnny Gaudreau, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Tom Brady have been seen using smelling salts on the sidelines." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelling_salts
In fact they are used so often you can find 130 reviews on the Amazon page for a popular brand used by lifters.
> It's like smoking. Everyone we know, or even ourselves nowadays, knows someone affected by smoking related cancers, yet people still take up the disgusting habit. If I watched a friend or family member suffer through cancer related problems, I'd give up the habit!! I don't smoke for that exact reason.
This is the most terrible analogy I can imagine and utterly off topic. Tobacco smoke is one of the most well-researched topics in the history of medicine. My entire point is that I can't find any information on whether or not there are negative side effects. In fact, in the very comment you responded to, I quoted a medical journal saying that they are safe.
