Unless you have other sources of iodine in your diet, iodized salt is better. Low iodine can cause a wide variety of health issues. Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxine hormone. In case iodine is deficient in our diet, e.g. not eating enough fish and other seafood that contains natural iodine, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre.

Iodine deficiency can also produce mental retardation and is a global problem. Excessive use of table salt (NaCl) is also harmful, so a balanced seafood diet is better against mental and other malnutrition problems.

What is the difference between iodized salt and non iodized salt?

I'm not SO good with salt but iodized salt is better for you than non iodized salt. Iodine has been added to refined table salt for a good many years to counteract the effects of iodine deficient diets. Its absence can cause problems including goiter and stunted growth. Iodized salt, therefore, contains minute traces of iodide or iodate compounds that are easily metabolized by the body. Non-iodized salt does not have these compounds added (although they might be present naturally).
