It shouldn't do so, no. There is no chemical reaction involved as there is with a gas fire so the moisture content in the air shouldn't be affected, same with radiators.

If the room is currently damp or someone has a problem breathing because of the moisture content in the air, consider buying a dehumidifier, here's a few in Power City..

A gas fire increases the moisture content because burning hydrocarbon fuel produces CO2 and H2O (water) so if you heat a room with a gas fire, you'll typically find a lot of condensation on the walls when the room cools after the fire is switched off.
