Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Smoking affects smaller blood vessels very badly. Complete body is full of smaller blood vessels, I would rather say no part is left unaffected due to smoking.

Not directly though, but yes, there is certainly bad effect on liver due to smoking. Hepatitis B make liver much more vulnerable for sure.

Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
