## Resource

The black market for tobacco and vaping products has surged online as stricter laws in Queensland curb street sales, forcing sellers to operate through private chats and home deliveries. While enforcement now includes hefty fines and jail time for landlords, convenience stores report a troubling comeback of customers returning to cheaper illicit goods. Authorities are stepping up with tech-driven monitoring and legal actions, but the debate rages on—should taxes be cut to make legal products more affordable, or should enforcement remain the core strategy to crack down on this evolving underground trade?
