There are no known negative effects from inhaling glycerin vapours. There are concerns around some flavour compounds used in e-liquids.

From https://www.banyantreatmentcenter.com/2022/01/10/vaping-vegetable-glycerin-side-effects/ :

> Researchers have recently found that vegetable glycerin can lead to inflammation of the lungs due to long-term vaping or e-cigarette use. One study on the dangers of vaping glycerin ran for four weeks, during which 34 were randomized to using flavor- and nicotine-free e-cigs or to a control group of no-use. At the end of the study, researchers discovered that the side effects of inhaling vegetable glycerin included inflammation in the lungs. The study also found that those who smoked e-cigarettes twice a day for a month contained higher levels of chemicals like propylene glycol in their blood.1
