Anti-smoking campaigner Professor Simon Chapman, from the University of Sydney, suggests smokers register and pay for an annual mandatory licence, with a fortnightly cigarette limit.
The unusual scheme, revealed in PLOS Medicine Journal, would limit the number of cigarettes smokers could buy everyday over a two-week period.
Licensees would be forced to show the smart card for every cigarette purchase, and renew their licence each year under the radical proposal.
Under Professor Chapmanās proposal, new smokers would also need to pass a compulsory health knowledge test and nominate how many cigarettes they can buy each day.
He suggests suggests purchases are limited to 50 cigarettes a day for heavy smokers, that's 350 a week, and varying costs for licences depending on an individual's chosen daily quota.
