There are 2 issues - 1) departure screening and 2) customs declartions in the UK
1)
DO NOT put the lighter in your checked in luggage. They ARE permitted in a carry on bag.
The sword and gun MUST go into your checked in luggage. I do not know the HK rules about BB guns and if you need to treat those the same way that a regular gun is treated. I suggest that you CALL the airline and ask them, or try to find the HK airport security rules on line somewhere.
No one will care about he cigarettes, I think.
2)
You may lose the cigarettes when you arrive, because you are under age.
You may lose the sword because it may be prohibited under UK law (you need to find out about that - the internet can be a great resource - use it). I know that the length of knife blades is restricted.
BB gun - are they legal in the UK? If so, the that will probably be OK.
support your own bad habit PLEASE
