What happens if I bring more than 200 cigarettes to UK?

If you go over your allowances you must declare all your goods and pay tax and duty on all the goods in that category. For example, if you bring in 200 cigarettes and 50 cigars, you must pay tax and duty on both the cigarettes and the cigars because you have gone over your allowance in the tobacco category.
