Gadgets In a move that&#8217;s sure to annoy tobacco-lovers nationwide, especially underage ones, Japan has announced that the country&#8217;s 620,000 cigarette vending machines will be replaced in 2008 with models that require an RFID-embedded age-verification card to release their delicious-but-deadly wares. This won&#8217;t have much of an impact for those who buy their smokes by the carton or over-the-counter, but if a tobacco jones hits you while you&#8217;re jammin&#8216; at the karaoke bar, you&#8217;d better be sporting your &#8217;smoker&#8217;s card&#8216; (which, conveniently, can also be used to pay for your habit) . We&#8217;re not really sure how effective this system is going to be, though, as it probably won&#8217;t be all that difficult for kids to buy one of these exclusive cards from some shady non-smoking adult.
