There isn't lead in the fumes. The risk of lead exposure is all about touching the solder.

Similar to lead paint, lead exposure is from lead dust primarily. Soldering produces lead dust, and it is relatively difficult to prevent further contamination

Lead free rosin is less dangerous than leaded rosin, check the SDS data sheets
