Smoking in Feudal Japan?
I know that during the Edo period tattoos where considered taboo and so a Samurai would probably not have a tattoo.
But what about pipe smoking? Was smoking pipe tobacco considered something a Samurai should not do?

No, tobacco did not arrive until much later.
However, 'smoking' in those times meant 'opium' and that was considered 'O.K.' in moderate doseages and visits to the Opium Den or Emporium.
