This happens quite often in many jurisdictions, where Police cite a 17 year old for "MiP" (Minor in Possession) of certain substances that are only suppose to be legally possessed by those 18 and over. In your case, the fact that you turned 18 while awaiting resolution of your case does not change the facts in the case. If you were in fact 17 at the time it was illegal for you to be in possession of tobacco or tobacco paraphernalia. The court may choose to dismiss the matter if you were a few days shy of being 18 but as for a few weeks the courts may not be so favorable.
In these types of cases, the penalty is usually rather small (perhaps just a fine) and they're typically able to be expunged from your record (sealed from the public view). Lastly, when ever a crime has been committed only the facts that surround the case at the time of the violation may be admitted. Meaning, just because you're 18 now, doesn't get you out of trouble. You were still under 18 at the time the law was violated.
