The Player's Handbook feat Tough:
Your hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to twice your level when you gain this feat. Whenever you gain a level thereafter, your hit point maximum increases by an additional 2 hit points
and the Innistrad human provincial origin Stensia racial trait Tough:
Tough. Your hit point maximum increases by 2, and it increases by 2 every time you gain a level.
Seems to have the same name and effect. Do they stack?
As well, in campaigns that use feats, characters should not be allowed to choose feats that duplicate any provincial traits
From the Stensia Human description
The Tough feat is exactly the same as the Tough provincial trait, when you consider that you'd start with the trait and hence the section of the feat related to increasing your HP by twice your level doesn't apply (you can't pick up the trait half way through the campaign).
And the text clearly states that player's should not be allowed to choose feats that duplicate traits.
It does say should not instead of can not so that leaves room for the DM to allow it if they so choose.
