Least popular tobacco

Is there a way to keep it low quality? That might reduce the initial take up.

Either that, or snuff and/or chewing tobacco become the main form of tobacco consumption.
 
The pope forbids it, as it was an herb used in indigenous religious practices. Thus, Nicot doesn't spread its popularity with the European aristocracy and the product only remains popular amongst indigenous people and probably the lower classes throughout the continent.

The pope tried to ban forks and crossbows.

Guess how successful that was.
 
Just start a rumor that says smoking tobacco is part of some savage Indian ritual and makes you vomit. That's why some of the other tobacco alternatives aren't popular.

Problem is, it was healthy. You smoke and it keeps malaria away, which means you can live long enough to reproduce. Need people to be more eastern orthodox or Buddhist, or sometime and have incense burning all the time to replace tobacco use

Or just find the tobacco which was even worse to smoke than the original stuff brought to Europe which definitely was used in Indian rituals and probably would make people vomit due to the high nicotine content.
