Cigarettes

Question

Hello, where can I find the brand of cigarettes available at this airport please?

Answer

In Shanghai, cigarettes are widely available both at the airport and throughout the city. At Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), you can find cigarette brands at duty-free shops, convenience stores, and some specialty tobacco shops located in both the departure and arrival halls.

The selection at the airport generally includes a mix of international brands and popular Chinese brands. Chinese brands are often cheaper and very common, while international brands are available mostly at duty-free stores.

Chinese brands you can expect: Zhonghua (中华), Panda (熊猫), Double Happiness (双喜), Baisha (白沙), and Liqun (利群).
International brands often available: Marlboro, Camel, Davidoff, and some British American Tobacco or Philip Morris products.
Where to buy: Duty-free stores in the departure areas, 24-hour convenience shops, and some specialized tobacco stores near the gates.

Tips:

Duty-free shops usually have tax-free prices for international brands, but Chinese brands are already reasonably priced throughout the airport.
Some smaller convenience stores at the airport may have limited stock, so for specific brands, check larger duty-free outlets.
Remember to check your airline’s allowance for carrying cigarettes if you plan to bring them on board or into your destination country.

Overall, if you are looking for a specific brand, duty-free stores in both Pudong and Hongqiao airports are your best bet, but popular Chinese brands are almost always easy to find in any airport shop or city store.
