Respiratory risks of solder aware minimal, particularly ironically the leaded variety. If you’re worried solder with the window open or get an extractor. I haven’t needed either in the last 40 odd years.
The lead itself is harmless unless you ingest lots of it. Wash your hands. That is all you need to do. Take it to the WEEE bin or waste disposal if you discard it.
I learned to solder when I was 8. My kids when they were 10. It’s fine. I built my first amateur radio transceiver when I was 12!
Soldering kit is cheap. Even decent metcal stuff can be had for virtually nothing if you shop around.
