Aah Japan, how I love thee.

… tobacco companies are planning on handing out micro-chip embedded cards to smokers 20 or over who can then use them to buy cigarettes from the 620,000 vending machines nationwide. This will become effective in 2008 and the new machines will include a sensor that will read the cards. No card, no butts baby. Smokers will have to apply for these cards for free by sending in an application along with a document that shows their age.
