Can Chewing And Swallowing Tobacco Cause Damage To Liver?

my liver enzyme level is slightly elevated and I have had liver sonograhm and hepititis screening. The sonograhm was normal and the hepititus tested negative. My doctor is having me fast from sugar and no alcohol for a week and then check liver enzyme again. What I am wondering about is that I chew tobacco and do not spit, I also drink 2 or 3 drinks almost everyday. I know about the risk of alcohol but am wondering about my tobacco use. Is it possible that my chewing and swallowing habit is causing damage to my liver?
