It is illegal to sell tobacco to anyone under 18. It is also illegal purchase it on behalf of anyone under 18. I don't believe there is a legal age for smoking though.
I found this on the legal aid website:
Until you are 18 no-one is allowed to sell you cigarettes or tobacco, buy cigarettes or tobacco for you, or let you buy cigarettes or tobacco from a machine on their premises. However, it is not against the law to smoke or carry cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 18.
