Its probably also why they caused so many problems - I'm sure if Celebrimbor had sat down for a pipe & a bit of a think he'd have been able to see through all that nonsense Annatar was up to.

I'm pretty sure that Tolkien was making a point about non smokers being prone to being a nuisance - after all its the pipe smokers who clear up the Elves' mess.
