Among certain groups of Asian and Asian American women, that share is estimated to be 50 percent or more. I suspect certain perfumes may be causing it.

  Or perhaps cooking? Cooking can really spike AQI if ventilation is suboptimal. Another potential explanation is cleaning products. I think these are both far more likely than perfume, as there is a much stronger link between AQI and lung cancer than perfume and lung cancer (if there is any at all).

    Professional chefs are largely not Asian women, and cook a lot more. Has there been a similar trend in them? Cleaning products is a possibility. Incense is another one --- those who burn incense may not consider it smoking, but any burning plant matter is going to emit similar products of combustion.

      Commercial kitchens generally are better equipped for proper ventilation.
