If you're under 18, and thus unauthorized to have tobacco in your possession, then maybe. Depending on state laws, visual contact with an illegal substance is "reasonable cause" to search a car.

Generally, police cannot search your car simply because they see tobacco. However, if they have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed or that there is evidence of a crime in the vehicle, they may be able to conduct a search. It is important to know and understand your rights in such situations, and if you believe your rights have been violated, consult with an attorney.
