Default pay child benefit in vouchers/tokens?

This idea has been strongly mooted by some politicians
'Cool card'

In the United States, people on "food stamps" are given a pre-payment card that they can use to buy food and other essentials - but not luxuries such as alcohol and tobacco.

The reasons I like the idea is that it makes it harder for some people to simply have kids to get handouts and then waste it on vices like smoking drinking then spending far too little on the kids (i.e. cheap food and second hand clothes etc)

your thoughts?
