yes, they are.
considering they have to be legally registered as homeless to sell it.
i do volunteer work with Crisis at Christmas, a free homeless shelter, and they sign people up there.

I used to buy it if I had a bit of spare change on me.

No and I think it's because the majority of people who buy it are adults.
