Chewing tobacco: Not only does smoking or chewing tobacco immediately raise your blood pressure temporarily, but the chemicals in tobacco can damage the lining of your artery walls. This can cause your arteries to narrow, increasing your blood pressure. If you want to prevent or improve BP control stop using tobacco of any kind.

It can: Though i don't think it's as bad as smoking because the onset is slower. The tobacco may or may not be contributing. Officially I should tell u to stop. Good luck.
