I have heard, not seen anything in print yet, that the sale/supply of
lead based solder of any type is to cease within the next few years,

Certainly for use on potable water supplies. Doubt it for electrical or
general use. The fumes from the flux are said to be more of a risk. They
can't be much of a risk or I'd be dead by now.

Huh ... I bet you don't get through a reel of solder a month !
