    I got breathalyzed today

    That's the fifth time I think since I started driving so that's a 5-0 record so far with no knock downs.

    Anyway, the interesting part of this incident was that the copper who breathalyzed me didn't know what an electronic cigarette was.

    I found this strange that someone in their position had never heard of an e-cig, especially as it's been around for a few years.

    I was naughty the other day-glanced at my phone-well picked it up for a quick look and was rudely reminded by a cop car behind me to drop it quick

    Well done for being clear.

    I've only ever been stopped and tested once in my life and that was Christmas 1969 I was just 19 and driving my first car (mini) which I'd only had for a couple of weeks on my birthday.
    Copper scared me to death.
    I was clear

    Must admit I'm surprised he'd never heard of those e-cigs.
    Anyway Jamie, so you finally got around to getting them?
    Have you quit the others yet?

    I only lasted a month or so with Intellicig. Found it a real pain having to send off for stuff especially as I'm never at home during working hours. Ended up back on the normal ones until last week when I spotted E-Lites being sold in a shop so I gave them a try.

    The trial e-cig is £6.99 and is equivalent to 30 cigs. (refills £7.99 equivalent to 80 cigs).

    That trial e-cig I bought last Thursday has just run out about an hour ago.

    Considering this time last week I was smoking 40 John Player per day, I've only had a couple of roll ups today while the e-cig batteries are charging.

    I was breathalysed once, just a few years ago. Hadnt had a drop to drink and the result reflected that.

    Well done with the cigs Jamie.

    It's going back to the Phils that usually gets me started again...damned things are so cheap there.

    Last got breathalysed in 1972. Had only had my usual half pint of Tartan Bitter...but that didn't stop me from doing 65 in a 30 zone in my new Hillman Avenger company car...an offence which I managed to talk my way out of like the good Salesman that I was.

    Tell me about it. Ever since coming back from Phils in June I've been smoking a lot more than I did before I went. Ludicrous that they cost over 10 times as much over here. Just goes to show how much the government makes on tax from cigarettes.

    I think I did some years back. Didn't do much good if I recall correct.

    That's what's kept me down to 6 a day for over a year now Jamie. ...Nevermind the health implications and smelling like a damp dog.

    I've been breathalyzed an awful lot through my work (particularly when I worked for a US Cruise Line), but only once by the police in the UK and never overseas.
