It then analyses the puffs for traces of several gases which can signal the presence of several health problems including diabetes, stomach ailments and even the ordinary hangover. &quot;A breath exhaled into the machine is irradiated with an infrared laser, and then trace gases are detected&quot; the company said in a statement. The gases include acetaldehyde, methane and acetone, all of which can point to the presence of various health problems.</p><br clear="all"/>
