False.
Monardes was a Spanish botanist and physician. He believed that the tobacco plant was incredible, had many pharmaceutical characteristics, and it worked as an antidote to many things such as a simple cold or even cancer. Because of his believes and studies, tobacco was actually very used throughout Europe in medicine.
