Cigarette vending machines used to be quite common. Even today, there are some alcohol vending machines in controlled areas (some fancy hotels have 24/7 vending machines stocked with a particular brand of champagne bottles).

A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.

It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.
