It doesn't matter where you buy them, you are only allowed to bring back 200 cigarettes into the UK from Turkey.

Check the following link, it gives you the allowances at the bottom.

200 cigs total going into icemeler, and maxim of 200 per person going home either at dalaman or in icemeler
they will confiscate any over the top at dalaman also because they are cheaper in turkey than in europe the customs are out in force when you land. i know because we had 200 confiscated last hol. beware they are clamping down at english airports

when you land in Dalaman there is a duty free shop next to the baggage area. you are allowed to buy 3 cartons (600 cigs) there. I would buy them from here as they are cheaper than in UK airports.

As others have said you are only allowed to take 200 back to the UK
