Smaug is from The Hobbit, not the Lord of the Rings - they are in the same universe, and are very much linked, but are not part of the same series. LotR refers only to the trilogy, typically. After all, we still have the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, the story of the Children of Hurin, and the Adventures of Tom Bombadil in the same universe.
