Indeed. In my case, nicotine seems to be the worst culprit, and can leave me struggling to breath for days after encountering cigarette smoke, but perfume is also a problem.

It is murder by policy. I don't know what else to say here. I pass so I don't have to worry about being arrested and railroaded for walking while trans, but if I had a girlfriend visiting, I wouldn't want her to get arrested for non-microwave-safe saran wrap, or for being trans.
