The lead doesn't vaporize at the temperatures you're soldering at, just don't eat it. It's probably the flux that's bothering you. Lead solder is supposed to be drastically better btw, I've never used lead free though.

Lead is better than the cheap lead free but it's not a huge difference. People really try to optimize this sort of shit, welding is another example. I get perfectly good welds with a 110v buzz box and harbor freight rods. Sometimes it's best to not think too hard.
