Pipeweed is never mentioned once in the Hobbit, but tobacco is on five different occasions.

First, in the very famous good morning scene with Gandalf, Bilbo is asked, do you wish me a good morning?

Oh, I mean that it is a good morning, whether I want it or not.

Oh, that you feel good this morning.

Oh, that it is a morning to be good on.

All of them at once, said Bilbo, and a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors into the bargain.

If you have a pipe about you, sit down and have a fill of mine.

Probably trying to bum a cigarette.

The nameless things hang out behind the 7-Eleven.

And finally, it shows up again in the very last line in the book.

You're a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you.

But you're only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all.

Thank goodness, said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco jar.

That's right.

The word tobacco also shows up in the chapter Flotsam and Jetsam, where Gimli has just asked Mary to tell the tale in the right order.

You shall have it if there is time, said Mary.

But first, if you have finished eating, you shall fill your pipes and light up.

And then for a little while, we can pretend that we are all back safe at Bree again, or in Rivendell.

he produced a small leather bag full of tobacco.

We have heaps of it, he said, and you can all pack as much as you wish when we go.
