I don't see how this is possibly true, considering that millions of
products each week are built with it.
You do, however, need to alter your methods. I believe that one of the
things you need to do is have a much hotter iron tip to use it, this
would be why you say that it "barely melts".
As far as smell, leaded solder may "smell better", but I'd rather not
breathe much of the fumes of either.
