🧠 Problem Title: Sale of addictive goods to children via small shops mostly near schools
📝 Problem Description

Addiction for tobacco,cigarettes and other addictive products is common in India.Instead of total ban, the government allowed companies to sell their poisons to people with warning in their packaging blaming the person who is consuming it. These companies earn billions of rupees from selling these poison and the government ignores them as they get benefits from it..After spoiling the adult people, they are spoiling the kids and teenagers with their products.Now, addictive products are available in the market in the form of toffees and snacks which are mostly consumed by kids. The kids consumed these as fancy and comfort foods unaware of its damage.The addiction increases with small scale but this goes on increasing and after sometime, they start consuming products same as adult people. Sometimes we can see many kids near railway tracks holding some plastic bags in their hands and we all know what they are doing and dont bother about it as it’s not our problem. Ignoring the problem is not the solution,we are now seeing it in tracks but no one knows as it reaches home due to availability of such food items promoting addiction which small shops are selling aware or unaware of.
