I remember seeing that back in '02. It would accept credit cards, but you somehow had to verify your age. Wakaranai...

So long as they don't mess with the Beer/Wine/Whisky/Sake vending machines we'll have no problems (though there have been rumblings that they might ban them...YIKES!)...]]>Mar 31st 2006 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/
Indeed, underaged youth could ask an adult to buy such card for them. So it won't help much unless they forbid adults to help the underaged to 'commit a crime'. Same counts for alcoholic drinks.

Not anyone is going to keep underaged youth from doing anything prohibited but the police. And they are never around when needed.

They just use other "advantages" to headline the implementation.

When I grew up in Japan, every time I went to a restaurant with my cousin during middle school and he ordered a liter of beer the waitress always brought two cups assuming I was drinking (even tough I was in my middle-school uniform).]]>Mar 31st 2006 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/]]>Mar 31st 2006 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Mar 31st 2006 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Apr 1st 2006 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/
I definitely agree. But since when do the liqour vending machines stay on all night ? I thought they all shut off at around 11:30pm ?

Or are you talking about the Conbinis ? Man they are so thick in Tokyo you can spread your arms and touch two of'em at the same time...]]>Apr 1st 2006 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Apr 1st 2006 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Apr 2nd 2006 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/Apr 3rd 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/31/japan-to-roll-out-age-verifying-cigarette-machines/
