Here's a mantra from classic literature, from memory from high school English, by Alexander Pope, that applies to both Pipe and Tobacco Acquisition Disorder:
Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

Man never is, but always to be blessed.

Okay, the one wasn't too popular, but here's more Alexander Pope that still could depict PAD and TAD in terms of overdoing things ...
“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien

As to be hated needs but to be seen;

Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,

We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope

Those are interesting. Can't say I'm familiar with Alexander Pope, but here's my answer to the first one:
False hope from man’s breast eternally springs

And is the ball and chain to which he stubbornly clings
Personally, I prefer nicotine

That isn't snobbish, but a fact. And it wouldn't have been a Lord using it, but one of his men! (Yes, I am an expert on snobs).

Only if you can seize the high ground and protect the flank, seal the perimeters and withstand the incoming.
