It's that tarnish that includes the poisonous copper oxides. Copper itself isn't toxic, but it tarnishes really quickly. Tin is not toxic in that wsy, so it's used extensively. Some kinds of tin solder contain lead, which is no help to the toxicity issue. Others do not. That's why Jurjen said "lead-free" tinning.
Even modern chefs tin their copper pots. Same reason.
