Found this explanation on line:
Heavy use of fog in a poorly ventilated room can be dangerous for anyone, especially the very young, the very old and those who have asthma, severe allergies or other respiratory problems. Anything that reduces the amount of available oxygen in a room can be dangerous, this is why it's important to use common sense when planning a fog effect.
Only use as much fog as is needed to create the desired effect. You should never try to fill an entire room with fog. If you want to create a hazy atmosphere throughout a room (to show off lighting effects in a nightclub, for example) you should purchase or rent a haze machine. The one exception I can think of to this rule is fire companies who use foggers to create simulated smoke for training purposes. In those cases, however, the firefighters wear respirators and emergency medical staff is always on hand.

I work in a major haunted house every halloween season, and the use of fog/smoke machines is MASSIVE. This past year, we had 3 malfunctioning machines that would go on for 30 seconds of 100% strength fog, every 30 seconds. The entire rooms were filled to the point you couldn't see, and they had to quit letting people in during that shift until we got it under control (meaning, myself and 2 other people who were positioned near the machines had to plug/unplug the machines manually all night long to prevent the overkill).
Let me tell you, the hacking cough, sore throat, and black crap coming out of your nose for months from these machines is not pretty. And not healthy. Granted, I smoke, so a fog machine is the least of my worries on the respiratory front hahaha.
But yea, if you're surrounded by the stuff daily in a poorly ventilated area, it's quite harsh. Particularly if you have respiratory issues or asthma. I have to emergency exit at least 5 or 6 people every shift (4 to 6 hour long shifts) because of the fog. It's really not good.
I have one, not an industrial "haunted house" one, but its pretty cool. Plug it in, wait like 10 minutes and then have it blow fog for maybe 1-2 minutes. Your entire LR will be covered in fog, eventually it settles to the floor and just kinda chills.
