RFID Cigarette vending machine with face recognition software: Are they foolproof?
Japanese want to ensure that their young citizens don't end up in the trap of smoking and destroy their lives and keeping their health in mind they have come up with an RFID based cigarette vending machine with face recognition software.

Recently in order to curb smoking habits among the underage more than 570,000 cigarette vending machines were fitted with RFID readers so that their age verification cards could be checked before cigarettes were dispensed to them. People without age verification cards could make purchases using the face recognition system which recognized the facial features of the person and in case it believed that the person is over the legal age of twenty then only the cigarettes were dispensed to them but one of the reporters managed to fool the system using fake pics of a fifty year old man and female celebritylinks in her thirties and get cigarettes for himself.

Realizing this folly the company is now working on advanced recognition which would be foolproof. Let's see when these machines make their mark and prevent the youngsters from spoiling their lives.
