Direction (Q. 101 – 110): Read the following passage and answer the following questions.

The cabinet of our country has banned on sale of cigarette to the minors (children below 18 years of age). Even the sale and storage of cigarettes, within the radius of 50 meters around school, colleges, and other educational institutions will not be allowed. These decisions were effected from January 1 2012. Both these norms have been made a penal offence and those caught violating them always face a fine of Rs. 500 and imprisonment up to three months. The complaints lodged against these cases are investigated by officers of the rank of sub inspector.

The health department has appointed the agency to implement the city cabinet’s decision. This decision of cabinet will take help from the local police in removing cigarettes shops near school and colleges. At present restrictions exist only on sale of liquor around schools and colleges. And it is for the first time that the government has focused its attention towards curbing sale of cigarettes near these institutions. Observers are skeptical about the success of the move to discourage smoking among minors. These resolutions will certainly help in controlling the smoking among youngsters.

Our cabinet was enforced to take these decisions as recent studies conducted by the health department revealed that a large number of youngsters, particularly those below the age of 18 are involved in smoking.
