i would google it. I am sure it is only 200 cigarettes i might be wrong though ,My wife smokes and only takes that amount back and if allowed more they would be taken.

Was "still 3200" a typo?
Duty free allowance to UK for tobacco is
200 cigarettes or
100 cigarillos or
50 cigars or
250g tobacco or
200 sticks of tobacco for electronic heated tobacco devices
You can split this allowance - so you could bring in 100 cigarettes and 25 cigars (both half of your allowance).
Unless you are travelling direct to Northern Ireland in which case the old members of the EU rules apply and you can take as many duty paid (the ones bought from tobacco shops) in provided they are for your own use.

Cigarettes 800
Cigars 200
Cigarillos 400
Tobacco 1kg
Sticks of tobacco for electronic heated tobacco devices 800
Beer 110 litres
Wine 90 litres
Spirits 10 litres
Fortified wine (for example sherry, port) 20 litres

Sorry but that listing is now well out of date since Brexit and we exited the EU.
Just 200 cigarettes per person now.

No idea how old that is but it's a load of rubbish.
Stop posting out of date information as the allowance, duty paid or duty free, is 200 cigarettes.
Problem with the internet as old sites still remain and aren't taken down.
UK is not in the EU anymore and that no longer applies.

Use the real HM Customs website. It is much easier than guessing.
Allowances
Hmm, May 2016. I wonder what happened that year?
