Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns..
Are you having itching over body?? Are u having white stools and dark urine?? Are you have any blood disorder ?
In my opinion smoking is not causing increase in bilirubin levels. You should better consult hepatologist regarding it to rule out the possible causes of acute hepatitis.
Meanwhile take rest and avoid spices. Do drink plenty of water...
Stay safe
