Very hard to do. I think you should work for a tobacco shop first and then talk about opening up an online store. Once you see what a huge undertaking it really is I think you'll just be happy to sit back and smoke a cigar

I think you would need a huge line of credit to even get close to what the big guys are buying (CI, Famous, etc.). You would then have to get close to what they are selling for in order to make a sale. That wouldn't leave much room for profit. But then again, I have no idea.
