Some other near-term negatives of the planned idea:

- forces people to go to stores that primarily sell addictive substances

- prices out poor people, who can't afford adult websites, _or_

- even more money meant for bills / food is spent on addictions

- will have a stigma attached (why is that preacher in the liquor store? For porn or whisky?)

I'm already going to the tobacco store on nearly a daily basis because they're also my main parcel point.

And I don't think these cards would have to be significantly expensive?
