You misunderstand me, Child of the 7th Age. I wouldn't dream of editing out pipeweed and ale from the movie. And yes, I've been reading the ancient threads in the movie section and I read the one about the petition to keep it out. Balderdash.

I'm just responding to the people here who are trying to come up with explanations such as "smoking pipes isn't as bad as cigarettes." It IS just as bad in the real world, but the book and the movie isn't the real world. Therefore, it's pointless to try to explain why hobbits weren't harmed by it.
