The stamina regeneration debuff makes some sense, although I'd have it apply only when you're not on internals. If you're breathing from internals, gas is going directly to your face from your gas tank, but otherwise you have to suck it through the filters, which is much more difficult than breathing unobstructed (if high-grade face masks are anything to go off of). If not a stamina regen debuff, perhaps a debuff how quickly you recover from OXY damage when in a breathable atmosphere would be good (kind of like the pug mutantrace).
I'd also be interested in seeing a fab-made enhanced breath mask/face visor that gave the chemical protection that gas masks give while not masking your identity. Certain situations practically mandate that you have a gas mask for your own safety (i.e. walking through suspicious clouds of chemsmoke trying to get to escape), but gas masks get poached pretty early on in the round. Maybe a transparent sealed face shield that didn't give view tinting, but only protected you from atmospheric chemicals if you have internals on (since they would have no filters of their own). Given the meta-assumption that anyone wearing a gas mask is an antag/up to no good, crewmembers that wore these could safely navigate chemsmoke while drawing less suspicion, and with the caveat that they'd have to be on internals the whole time.
