Michael Barrymore Confronts London Shop Over Claimed Two-Pack Cigarette Limit

UK rules place no statutory cap on adult cigarette purchases.

Overview

  • Footage posted to TikTok shows the TV personality told he could buy only two packs after requesting four at a Shepherd's Bush store.
  • A staff member in the video says, "The law says we can only sell maximum two," a claim Barrymore and onlookers question.
  • Barrymore states he bought six packs at Tesco the previous day before returning to challenge the smaller shop's restriction.
  • Reporting notes there is no legal per-customer limit for adults, though retailers may set their own caps to manage stock or discourage resale.
  • The clip, filmed Monday in West London, has drawn tens of thousands of views and thousands of interactions, with no formal response from the shop reported.
