Default welding question.

My 13 yo kid has been bugging me about getting a small welder and letting him learn to weld. I have never welded before in my life, so my knowledge is very limited.
My question is:
Do you think a small 110v wire feed welder would be safe for him to learn on?
The real issue I am concerned with is the fumes created when he welds. I understand the need for good ventilation, proper safety equipment, fire hazards, etc. Don't misconstrue that as thinking I know all the "ground rules" of welding. I don't, all advice is welcome.
I appreciate the advice in advance.
