Probably, b/c he/she is working in very close quarters in your mouth, so there are probably still traces of it on your breath -no matter how often and well you brush.. Smoking also stains teeth -again, no matter how often and well you brush.. It is best to just be honest and say something like "Yes, but not very often/only every now and then/but not habitually.." It may seem like a personal question, but they do need to know, so that they ensure that your teeth get the best care that they can.. If you are ashamed to say 'yes' if they ask, then maybe you need to give it up..Health Question & Answer
Most smokers I've met had the aroma of tobacco on them.. How much the they smoke determines how much they smell.. So I would imagine a dentist can smell a smoker..
But as far as the black hole in the back of your mouth, their is no real evidence if that was cause by smoking..Health Question & Answer
