Default cheap solder smoke filter or overkill?

I don't understand the obsession with soldering fumes.
I've been soldering for over 50 years now with no ill effects.
I certainly don't find the fumes irritating or obnoxious.

You're NOT breathing in lead fumes. Lead vaporizes at 3100F.

There are plenty of things I do that I do with good ventilation.
Just soldering isn't on my list.
