Tobacco Makes Breathalyzer Tests Useless

A breathalyser test made right after someone has puffed on a cigarette was thought to be unreliable, and thus inadmissible in a court of law.

Le tribunal d’Avignon a relaxé mardi un automobiliste qui avait causé un accident en état d’ébriété, estimant que la mesure de son taux d’alcool n’était pas fiable. En effet, le pré­venu avait expliqué avoir fumé une cigarette quelques minutes avant d’être soumis à l’éthylomètre.

    Speaking as one who has been bagged in the UK recently, I can say that the plod will not breathalize you for 20 minutes after a cigarette or an alchoholic drink
