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.

Basically, the issue is paraffin waxes and tars precipitating in the lungs - from whence they are not ejected.

And, Jeff, where you solder, the rosin fumes would not stand a chance! Too much fresh air.
