    No.
    Had paper on my chimney breast for over 5 years, in which a coal fire used to be lit most nights. When it came time to strip it, it was even tougher to strip than the same type of paper in another part of the room. Once it's pasted and stuck down properly only steam would have any sort of impact on it.

    Just take care on your two external corners...try to start in the middle of the chimney breast rather than starting in one or other of the corners and working out.
    It ends up being more neater and you have enough play in the paper to even out any kinks or crease and the paper isn't left with only having a small strip continuing around a corner, which is more liable to lift in the lont term.
