Answer
Alcohol, Tobacco products including e-cigarettes, Lottery Tickets/scratch cards
Explanation
This question pertains to items that are legally restricted for sale to minors. Considering the laws in most jurisdictions, the restricted items commonly are the ones that could lead to health consequences or carry societal risks. The options mentioned are: Party poppers/party crackers, Paracetamol, Alcohol, Tobacco products including e-cigarettes, and Lottery Tickets/ scratch cards. Among these, Paracetamol is a commonly available over-the-counter medicine and normally is not considered a significant risk to sell unless it is deemed inappropriate large doses. Party poppers/party crackers, while potentially dangerous if misused, generally are not age-restricted. Both Alcohol and Tobacco products including e-cigarettes carry numerous health risks and have been considered harmful for under-aged consumers by major international health bodies. Also, most jurisdictions carry laws preventing the sale of the said items to under-aged consumers. Lottery Tickets/scratch cards, although seemingly harmless on the surface, can be seen as a form of gambling. A great number of jurisdictions do not look favorably upon under-aged participation in any form of gambling; hence they put an age limit on the purchase of such items. Therefore, looking at possible laws across global jurisdictions, it can be likely deduced that Alcohol, Tobacco products including e-cigarettes and Lottery Tickets/ scratch cards are the 3 items out of the given list that should not be knowingly sold to a customer you know is buying for a person who is under the legal age for the product.
