For decades, duty-free shopping was a popular way for airlines to market products and spur incremental revenue.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 -- Malaysia-based AirAsia has joined other airlines in halting sales of duty-free cigarettes on board all flights.

“I'm super proud to announce that @airasia will stop selling cigarettes on duty free. Coupled with all our offices being smoke free and incentivising staff to stop smoking with better insurance, we are putting our money where our mouth is,” Fernandes tweeted. In March last year, Dutch airline KLM decided to discontinue selling duty-free tobacco and cigarettes onboard its long-haul international flights, while retaining other shopping options such as liquor, fragrances and makeup.
