everyday chemistry - Is it dangerous to inhale the steam coming from electrolysis of salt-water solution



Is chlorine in there that accumulates (at the anode) and emerge out as chlorine gas? I was worried since I added a pinch of salt to the steamer in order to hasten the heating of tap water when I caught a cold (I should've just boiled a pot of water on the stove). I'm worried since chlorine gas is bad for the respiratory system. Also I'm curious to know what is this brown precipitate under the solution - hydroxides or cupric-oxides from the electrode?
