If you're talking about the regular citadel paints, then no, they are not toxic in any way. They're water thinned also, so they don't emit any kinds of fumes either. Totally safe to work with. I propably wouldn't go drinking them though...
Spray paints on the other hand have have all kinds of chemicals in them and they should not be use indoors. In a well ventilated area they should be safe to use.

You can drink the paint and in theory only make yourself sick. I doubt you'd die unless you drank 10+ and kept it down.
Spray paints are bad because both paint and the propellant are not good things to get in your lungs. At all. (See 'WARNING - Solvent abuse can kill INSTANTLY' sign. Don't worry though - just dont spray it up your nose)

Most of us have worked with the stuff and we're all fine, I've gone through a dozen cans of the spray primer at least, usually outside but sometimes in an enclosed but well ventilated area, and I seem to have survived it.
