Is the naming-and-shaming of shops allegedly selling illegal vapes, smokes working?

In a two-week crackdown, authorities managed to seize $11 million worth of illegal cigarettes and vapes, with 50 shops in Perth shut down. The initiative highlights a concerted effort to curb the illicit trade, raising questions about the effectiveness of public naming and shaming in deterring illegal activities. This move underscores the ongoing battle against underground markets and could signal a broader shift in how authorities tackle illegal trade, suggesting a potential long-term impact on the black market economy.
