Hobbits are between two and four feet tall.

I think the "little people" in the article are more fairy sized or smaller. The BBC article linked to at that article says they were seen on dishes.

LOTR is a sequel to the Hobbit however, so 'the first few chapters' are already after the lore previously written.

And in the hobbit there was already pipe smoking folks (although it's less emphasised probably because it was written as more as a book for children - or at least a child).

I mean sure, he wrote the lore sitting in trenches during a war, most of the universe was sorted out before he wrote _The Hobbit_ at all. I was, I thought clearly but I guess not, specifically referring to the Trilogy.
