drug/s trafficker

I believe 'drug trafficker' is correct. However, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, it is 'drugs trafficker'; I think it is a typo.

Hey Yoong, yep, there's an example with "a drugs trafficker" in the OALD, but I would say "drugs trafficker". com --> 35 Interesting, isn't it? Looks like "drug trafficker" is perfect, but "drugs trafficker" is possible in the UK.

Hey Yoong,
yep, there's an example with "a drugs trafficker" in the OALD, but I would say "drugs trafficker". I took a look at some Google results (real "clickable" results), and here's what I found:

drug trafficker - site:nytimes.com --> 83
drugs trafficker - site:nytimes.com --> 0

drug trafficker - site:usatoday.com --> 54
drugs trafficker - site:nytimes

Hello everyone!:)

Does "camel" mean drug trafficker in English too?

By the way, I looked for the word "traficante" in Spanish and I got the option of saying "traficante de drogas", it says it could be "drug dealer" or "drug trafficker", it doesn't say anything about "drugs trafficker"..
