No sign on the cigarette vending machine

Taspo Card system has already been running in some region.
But today cigarette vending machines all over Japan has started to ask the card.
We have to put the card on the panel on the vending machine to buy cigarette in the vending machine.

I hear that the diffusion of the card is around 25 percent.
I think many of smoker will buy cigarette in the shop.

Telling about me, I have alredy quit smoking.
Because I don't want to have such card.

Thanks Taspo Card for helping me to quit smoking.

Taspo Card

Taspo card is for age verfication to buy cigarette in the vending machine.
We can't buy cigarette in the vending machine without the IC card from this comming July.
It is doubtful that Taspo card is really usefull for minor's (under 20) smoking prevention.

And it is annoying to do the application of this card.

But it is a good opportunity for me.
So I decide to quit smoking!!
