An oxygen bar is an establishment, or part of one, that sells oxygen
for recreational use. Individual flavored scents may be added to enhance the experience. The flavors in an oxygen bar come from bubbling oxygen through bottles containing aromatic solutions before it reaches the nostrils: most bars use food-grade particles to produce the scent, but some bars use aroma
Oxygen bar guests pay about one U.S. dollar
per minute to inhale a percentage of oxygen greater than the normal atmospheric content of 20.9% oxygen. This oxygen is produced from the ambient air by an industrial (non-medical) oxygen concentrator
and inhaled through a nasal cannula
for up to about 20 minutes.[5]
The machines used by oxygen bars or oxygen vendors differ from the typical medical-issue machine, although customers use the cannula, the rubber tube apparatus that fits around the ears and inserts in the nostrils, to breathe in the oxygen. Customers can enhance their experience by using aromatherapy scents to be added to the oxygen, such as lavender or mint.[6] oils.[1]

Then the same paragraph goes ahead to refute it.
[INDENT][FONT=Georgia] [FONT=Courier New]But there are no long-term, well-controlled scientific studies that support these claims for oxygen in healthy people. And people with healthy lungs don’t need additional oxygen, says Mary Purucker, M.D., Ph.D., a pulmonary specialist in CDER. “We’ve evolved for millions of years in an atmosphere of about 21 percent oxygen.”[/FONT][/FONT] http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=21800
