How can chlorine affect my health?
Exposure to low levels of chlorine can result in nose, throat, and eye irritation. At higher levels, breathing chlorine gas may result in changes in breathing rate and coughing, and damage to the lungs.
Some people may develop an inflammatory reaction to chlorine. This condition is called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), a type of asthma caused by some irritating or corrosive substances.
In general, people who suffer from respiratory conditions such as allergies or hay fever, or who are heavy smokers, tend to experience more severe effects than healthy subjects or nonsmokers. This answer is from the Centers for Disease control website,

Do I need a chlorine filter if my water utility uses combined chlorine like chloramine for disinfection?
Yes, even chloramine systems will have free chlorine present if the utility mixes the components of chloramine (ammonia and chlorine) in less than perfect proportions (non-stoichiometric). Additionally many utilities which utilize chloramine have the need to periodically "shock chlorinate" their system to counter the buildup of unicellular organisms which often result from the use of chloramine. This shock treatment, while episodic, releases far more than normal amounts of chlorine into the system for relatively short periods of time
