A Japanese company is developing a vending machine that counts wrinkles and skin sags to check a smoker's age.It plans to use face recognition technology to prevent anyone under the legal age of 20 buying cigarettes.

From July vending machine companies could be prosecuted if tobacco is sold to anyone under the legal limit.Purchasers who failed a digital camera "age test" would need to show the machine an ID card to establish they were legally allowed to smoke. Japan has 570,000 tobacco vending machines. The country's finance ministry has already given permission for an age-identifying smart card and a system to read the age from driving licences.

I am going into the fake wrinkle skin business. Kids hit me up and you can go buy yourselves some KOOLS.
