Question:

if airside shops do not charge UK taxes on items, does that include tobacco and alcohol?

If which case why do WH Smiths charge around 10% more for cigarettes than a high street shop? ( remembered from when I smoked).

Do they pocket the duty and then add even more for themselves?

Just wondered.
