I know smoking can be a cause of copd, so i am curious if chewing tobacco can as well?

No: Chewing tobacco is related to oral cancer - since it is not smoked/inhaled it doesnt increase the riskof develoing emphysema/copd.

May not: Chewing tobacco may not cause COPD but it has as many disadvantages like oral cancers, laryngeal cancers etc.
