You mean the fumes from the flux. You don't believe you're breathing

Ditto. I have half a pound right here that I bought at a hamfest in the
eighties. Used it to put together a Wersi Delta years back, used it for
other kits and copious repairs. Even waste a ridiculous amount tinning
my soldering tips (the current one is from the seventies and helped with
the Delta).
