How many cartons of cigarettes can I bring with me to the UK?

Question

I am from the US. I am going to England for a couple of weeks (15 days to be exact) and I am a smoker, as is my boyfriend (who I'm going to see). I was thinking about bringing 4 cartons. I may need more than that if we're both smoking them though. Does anyone know the laws on this?

Answer 1

As a general rule, you can bring in 200 cigarettes without paying customs duty.  

And the duty is almost as much as the cigarettes.
