Is it possible to cheat a fuel-cell based breathalyzer with oxidizing gases like nitrous oxide?

(For a brief explanation on how these types of breathalyzer works, see http://science.howstuffworks.com/breathalyzer5.htm )
 
Don't drink and drive. Period. I really can't see how this would be helpful in any way other than to commit crime and get away with it.

Probably not, let alone you take the risk of getting poisoned.
 
I can't imagine someone actually breathing out nitrous oxide!
