[QUOTE=Frodo Baggins]Where does it say Elves don't smoke??? I would rather focus on that. No where does it say they did, but it does not say they didn't either. Besides, if an Elf had spent as much time around hobbits as Gandalf, they probably would have picked up something.

Actually, while it doesn't say that Elves don't smoke. there IS one scene that suggests Legolas doesn't. Remember when they've all had a nice meal in the watch-room at Isengard and light up on Longbottom Leaf? The only one not smoking is Legolas - can't remember the exact quote, but as I recall, he does sneer at them for their dumb habit. And if one of the main characters doesn't smoke, and you never see any of the other Elves doing it, they probably don't. Just a thought.
