Because it is due to a health issue rather than just a personal preference it is no different than a parent asking you if you have a dog or cat. When a person calls to set up an appointment I would just say something like I know this is not a question you will get a lot but due to sensitivities to scents including perfumes and cigarettes I need to be sure that families coming into care do not smoke, or use a lot of strong scented products. Because this is a health issue for me it is necessary that I find out this information before you come to my home rather than after you have arrived.
If a parent won't answer or doesn't take you seriously then leave it at that and move on because them lying just to get into your care serves no one.
