Will Vaping Cause a Violation on My Ignition Interlock?

Would activities like vaping, or using e-cigarettes, cause a violation on an Ignition Interlock?

An Ignition Interlock Device can be a requirement if someone is convicted or arrested because of a DUI. If installed, the user will provide a breath sample for the Ignition Interlock to measure their breath alcohol concentration before they can start their vehicle.

Vaping and Ignition Interlocks

Ignition Interlocks have a fuel-cell sensor, which measures your breath alcohol concentration, or BrAC. In other words, an Ignition Interlock’s purpose is to only detect alcohol consumption. The smoke that comes from vaping has no influence whatsoever. It is a good idea, however, to swish your mouth with water before any test so you are clearing out any particles left over, such as the aftereffects of mouthwash or the smoke from vaping.

Do not blow smoke into the Ignition Interlock! Exhaling smoke into your Ignition Interlock can cause damage and will deter you from completing a breath test.

Alcohol Vaping

Vaping alcohol is more dangerous than drinking it since the alcohol goes straight to a person’s lungs without metabolizing first in the stomach and liver. If you do vape alcohol, your Ignition Interlock will detect that amount that you consume. No matter how you digest it, Ignition Interlocks have reliable technology that will read your alcohol consumption. If your BrAC reading is above the fail set point, your vehicle will not start.
