What Are The Side Effects Of Snorting Bath Salt?

I just tried snorting bath salt. I bought half a gram. I know it is stupid. Have any studies been done on side effects? I quit smoking herbal incense, and had terrible withdrawals. I snorted very little bath salt. My withdrawal effects are not happening. Will I get addicted to bath salt from little to no use?
