Well, you're right. You can't gety lead poisoning from breathing the solder fumes.
Lung cancer - yes. Lead poisoning - no.
I use Hakko fume extractor with carbon sponge filter. I detracts enough to greatly diminish the fumes inhaled.
Plus, ever since a kid, I love the smell of burnt rosin. (I hate the smell of that no-clean stuff in wire solder - smells like cheap barber shop powder).
Tell the guy, opening a window might actually divert the direction of the fumes directly onto him.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
