Cigarette vending machines in Japan may soon start counting wrinkles, crow's feet and skin sags to see if the customer is old enough to smoke.

The legal age for smoking in Japan is 20 and as the country's 570,000 tobacco vending machines prepare for a July regulation requiring them to ensure buyers are not underage, a company has developed a system to identify age by studying facial features.
.
"With face recognition, so long as you've got some change and you are an adult, you can buy cigarettes like before. The problem of minors borrowing [identification] cards to purchase cigarettes could be avoided as well," Mr Yamamoto said.

wrinkles are not a drawback..........

Showing your bum to a fag-dispenser... There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm not touching it (bad pun)...
