There is no federal law prohibiting the possession of tobacco, no matter what the age. These laws are left completely up to local authorities. For example, up until about two years ago minors where allowed to legally carry and smoke tobacco in the township in which I live, but now the township has imposed a law prohibiting the possession of tobacco for minors. So you see it is all local laws, and they are all different everywhere.
