The fumes from solder is from the flux that is normally included with the solder, and contains no lead. The lead doesn't vaporize in any case, so it's not a danger unless you like picking up solder splatter and eating it. The danger with lead-based solder is when you DISPOSE of the equipment later - the lead could eventually leach into the surroundings if not recycled/disposed of properly.
