I would suspect not. The only reason I can think of that you would need to salt a ham before cooking and eating it is if it is salt cured. (You soak it in plain water so that the process of osmosis will draw the excess salt from the salt cure process out of the ham and into the water.) If a ham is smoke cured, I can't see why it would have been salt cured as well. You could always take a quick small taste of the meat to make sure the salt content is not excessive, but I cannot imagine that it would be.

Why do oboe reeds have to be soaked in water?

All reeds need to be soaked to soften them before playing. This allows them to vibrate as you play. A hard, dry reed will crack rather than vibrate. Single reeds for instruments such as clarinet & saxophone are soaked by sucking them before placing them on the instruments. Double reeds for Oboe, Cor Anglais & Bassoon need to be soaked in water due to the different shape of the reed. Sucking them in the mouth does not soak the entire reed.

Do you need to rinse lentils before you use them in soup?

Not necessary with lentils; just rinse and drain them, then simmer them on low-medium heat for about 30-45 minutes or until soft. Make sure to add water or chicken broth as necessary so they don't dry out and burn. Dried beans, on the other hand, should be soaked overnight before cooking.
