Why is duty-free so much cheaper?

Is duty-free in airport worth it?
The answer is: sometimes. The savings you reap from duty-free shopping depend largely on what you're buying and where you're buying it. Bear in mind in many cases that you're not necessarily paying lower prices at the duty-free shop than you would pay for liquor or tobacco at any shop outside the airport.
