@johnson1095 I think it's because too many people still smoke, but the regulation has been getting tightened gradually. Smoke area is separated in almost all places. Young people need IC card to buy cigarettes on a vending machine.
Some of you are stupid. No, you don't use a credit card to get the tabacco. You can't just get it by pressing the button either. And each pack is about 300 yen. ($3) You have to REGISTER for a special age authentication card.
@yui4me Apparently most vending machines have a age authentication lock, So you probably have to swipe your credit card in there if you want tobacco or something 18+
in japan theres at least 1 vending machine near ur neighbored that must be great i stay in alabama in the ghetto so vending machines really dont make it here at all
in vietnam the legal age is anything jk from 13-up i know cuz my trip to vietnam with my parent to go for vacation in there vaction house :3 my cousin over there took me to club and we drink remy,vodka,henikin :P <nasty lol and i was only 16 :D but fuck it $5 for one can of cocola D: so we bought 5 can for 25$ and i think remy cost idk but yea all together was 60-70$ so it a good price to spend Xd planning to go there agian this summer of 2011 :D and i be 18 :x
Do you figure these machines will be pretty much everywhere in Japan? I'm interested in trying out the JET program, but I think it sends you to random places in Japan. I would love to get a gig in Tokyo though ><
I was coming home from vacation the other day and saw a vending machine full of iPhones and sandwiches... in the same machine. Hmm.. while I drop $300 on a new phone I might as well throw in a sandwich, woot!
They don't need enforcement due to majority of the culture there not being greedy, destructive, thieving juveniles delinquents etc like in the United States.
yea why is that?? i think its because you almost never see anyone who grows up to be a bum or drops out of school early or gets laid off because of no work. I swear they are like the happiest country in the world! they dedicate their lives to entertainment, i mean have you seen those crazy japanese shows? all the great food they eat?? how everyone is amazingly slim and healthy???
@rentaroo there is actually some japanese guys that does bad stuff to the machines... my brother used to live there.... next to his apartment there was a machine with lots of cans... some times there was a group of high schools guys buying cans and putting in a place there in the machine... idk where is it... and when they get another can it makes a freking loud sound and the can explode haha >_>" when my bro passed by they just said: Konbawaaa~~~~~~ in line >_>" punks every where...
I wish we could have vending machines like these in the states, especially ones with alcohol. But they would be vandalized, raided and destroyed with in hours after being installed. Oh well.

Cigarettes vending machines in Japan require your ID card.
BTW many japanese smoke actually, however, generally, Japanese live longer than other countries.
People don't smoke if at unallowed place. Most of public spaces are no-smoking.

Dojikun 2 years ago
Until recently anyone could buy beer, cocktails or tobacco from a vending machine.
Kids usually didn't because Japanese people don't usually break rules.
But slowly they are introducing a card system for people over 20 so kids can't access the good stuff :-D

Many of the machines have cola but not many Japanese people drink it.
They prefer healthier drinks.
That is one of the reasons there are few fat Japanese people.
