A popular image in many westerns: After a large battle or conflict between the white settlers and the Native Americans, the tribes will make peace by organizing a "pow-wow" and smoke the peace pipe with them. Almost without exception, somebody (usually a white man) will start coughing or feel sick after taking a puff from the peace pipe. The others will laugh at him.
Somewhat a subtrope of a Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe, Protocol Peril and one of the few examples where Smoking Is Cool in the sense that it "cools" everybody off. Historically Truth in Television, as many Native Americans shared this custom.

The 1952 Tom and Jerry cartoon "Two Little Indians" (the "Indians" in question are little mice scouts) ends with Tom, Jerry, and the mice sharing a peace pipe. Tom has problems exhaling the smoke— then coughs and blows smoke rings out his ears.

Winnetou: This is a popular conclusion of many stories involving Native Americans. Focused on a bit more than usual in the late novel Winnetou's Heirs, in which the by then older main protagonist wonders how his wife, who usually doesn't smoke at all and even got him to drop the habit, will handle the experience. (With aplomb, it turns out, even though the tobacco does get to her a bit.)

Red Ears: One gag features two Indian Maiden bickering with each other. To end their argument they are given the "peace pipe", which is literally a Native American named "Peace" whom they can give a blowjob. (Note "piper" ("to pipe") is French for "giving a man oral pleasure".)

An Al Brodax Popeye short pitted Brutus dressed as an Indian to thwart Popeye and Olive's hunt for a gold lode. Brutus offers a peace pipe to Popeye but it has gunpowder in it, which causes the pipe to explode when he smokes it. Tit-for-tat: Popeye gave Brutus his pipe in exchange and it exploded in Brutus' face.

In the Disney Ducks Comic Universe story "Land of the Pygmy Indians" by Carl Barks Scrooge McDuck smokes peace pipe with the titular Natives in the finale, only to get violently ill and be forced to return home. It turns out that the tribe's medicine man had secretly added a rare earth mineral called strombolium that Scrooge had previously lusted after into the tobacco to get rid of him.
In another story, Donald's sousaphone playing causes an avalanche that buries an Indian village. The enraged chief is ready to scalp Donald when the tribesmen clearing the rubble report that they have found gold in the rock, so Donald has actually done them a huge favour. The chief agrees to smoke the peace pipe with Donald, only the peace pipe is buried under tons of rock. They wind up using Donalds sousaphone as a peace pipe.

Arcane. In the first episode, a criminal and his female minder try to intimidate Huck into accepting a lesser fee for his services, before Vander appears and persuades them that would be a bad idea. Vander offers the woman his pipe to show they accept this 'deal'. She takes a puff and starts coughing, implying that the stuff Vander smokes is stronger than she's used to.

Lucky Luke: In "Le 20ème de Cavalerie" ("The 20th Cavalry"), virtually everybody becomes sick after smoking the peace pipe. It gets to the point that they would rather continue fighting to avoid smoking it. That's not just the white cavalry officers and politicians either, the other Indian chiefs also get nauseous from it and come up with lame excuses to avoid it. Apparently the chief who organized the war against the Cavalry is just that bad at tobacco blends.
Played with in the epilogue for "The Black Hills", when the son of the Indian chief from the story poses for a portrait with the U.S President after signing a peace treaty. The President is smoking a peace pipe for the picture, and is understandably looking sick, mainly because they're posing for a painting and he has to keep puffing for hours on end.

Played with in a short story in Fear Itself: The Home Front, in which a bunch of white racists try and stir up American Eagle's neighbors by posing as Native American spirits in the wake of the murder of a white local sheriff. The fact that they resort to using Tonto Talk is part of how Eagle figures out that they're delusional.

The "Where the Buggalo Roam" episode of Futurama featured native Martians as Native American stereotypes. There was a misunderstanding, but it would all be OK if Kif didn't cough while smoking the peace pipe. He did. The punishment was death.

The Hunt for Red October doesn't have Native Americans, but it does have a variation on the trope—when the Americans board the titular sub, Jack Ryan (who has repeatedly identified himself as non-smoking) accepts a cigarette from Melekhin and starts coughing after his first inhale, eliciting a chuckle.
