Talk:Cigarette machine

Worldview within article

This article is really sparse. I think the most important part would be a comparison of the situation in different countries. And some pictures. The german version would be a good template. Altought it is not perfect too.

Am I the only who thinks that this whole story with "cameras identifying the age of the person standing before the machine by comparing it to a database of other persons" is well... a load a crock, to put it mildly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.76.138.135 (talk) 15:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Actually, in Virginia (USA), there are automated systems to identify (among other things, like if they person is drunk or not) people who wish to purchase ethanol-based beverages at certain places with those systems installed. But, I would also like to see this article expanded. Especially adding a section about the United States of America, since I've walked by many of these machines before the mid-1990s. --W5WMW (talk) 07:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Ban?

There are moves to try and get these banned in the UK:

There used to be cigarette machines on the pavements in the UK. I can't remember when these were got rid of. It's the sort of thing this article should cover Vince Calegon 15:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC) Vince Calegon 15:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Someone needs a geography lesson

Under the section entitled "Bans and Restrictions in EUROPE"(emphasis mine), Australia is listed. The last time I checked, Australia wasn't in Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.154.75 (talk) 02:51, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

everyone knows Australia is in Europe💀 Avistemp (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

France

Simply stating 'banned' here may lead the reader to assume that this may be due to some anti-smoking legilsation. There never were any cigarette machines in France; sales of cigarettes are strictly limited to special 'Bar Tabacs' - bars/cafés holding a special government tobacco vending licence. Cigarettes are not sold anywhere else. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:39, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
