I think Tolkien has been pictured with his pipe in several photos. As someone as already mentioned, nobody knew it was unhealthy in the thirties. If smoking is as enjoyable as it looks, if I were Tolkien I think I'd give pipeweed medicinal purposes and make it a healthy activity in my fantasy. After all, it's his story and he gets to make up the physical rules of Middle Earth.
