Depends on the country as well, some country airports with high item tax make it worth buying at the airport.

Take the vice tax for example, most Islamic countries probably at alcohol cheaper at their airports.

Same goes with countries that have items with pricing power, I always get certain gifts at Japanese airports since the price it usually cheaper with tax free comparative to the rest of the country.

US airports though... Never worth it. Overpriced af

Went to Dubai, I don't do drugs, but prices seemed not horrible.

Then I checked if I would spend my local money for some candy, but I noped right out. On principle I weren't going to pay those prices.

I'm not sure if your comment makes sense and I can't think straight, or maybe you are using 'drugs' and 'candy' in some way that I don't understand.

[Ekaros]

Ethanol is a drug. No different really from fentanyl or crack cocaine or THC. So I just referrer it as such.

[Danieru]

Yes that's fine; but what's the "candy" in your context?

We're all confused about the candy thing.

[Ekaros]

Actual candy, like chocolate. I think price was multiple times what you would expect anywhere.

[haldujai]

Sure they're all 'drugs', but while THC and ethanol have comparable safety profiles both are unequivocally different from and far less dangerous+addictive than fentanyl and crack cocaine for both public and individual health...

[Eisenstein]

Have you considered that is more important for people to understand what you are saying than to be technically correct?

Or blueberries or aspirin? I'm confused as to where you draw the lines between those items.
