I had a cop ask me if i had a lighter on me, he had a cigar he "wanted" to light, but im a minor, so if i had a lighter would that give him reasonable cause to search me?

Not necessarily - look to your state laws or court opinions about police searches and probable cause. Not every teen that carries a lighter smokes. In some jurisdictions the officer needs more than a lighter to support probable cause that a minor has tobacco or marijuana in his/her possession.
