Is there an example of a smooth projective hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n_k$ ($k=\overline{k}$) that does not contain any projective toric varieties (edit: of positive dimension)? Or is it the case that every such hypersurface will contain a projective toric varityvariety (edit: of positive dimension)?

Do projective hypersurfaces contain projective toric varieties?

Is there an example of a smooth projective hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n_k$ ($k=\overline{k}$) that does not contain any projective toric varieties? Or is it the case that every such hypersurface will contain a projective toric varity?
