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!!
