No. During the medieval period of time, tobacco did not exist in Europe and was smoked only in North America for ceremonial purposes. Tobacco was not imported to Europe until the Renaissance period.

Tobacco is native to the Americas and was not introduced to Europe until the late 15th century after the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. Therefore, tobacco smoking as we know it today did not exist in medieval times in Europe. However, there were other forms of smoking, such as burning herbs or incense for ritual or medicinal purposes, but these practices were not widespread or associated with tobacco.
