If you are over 14 you and your dentist fall under the confines of the HIPPA law. This law gives you medical confidentiality. Meaning unless you give written authorization; no doctor, nurse paramedic or other medical professional or person in their employ can release medical information to anyone without your consent. This includes your parents.
Unless you had a sore or something in your moth that the dentist needs to know more about it is unlikely he/she could tell you use smokeless tobacco. Still the HIPPA law protects your medical confidentiality with all medical professional you may come in contact with.

No the dentist doesnt know what youve been exactly doing he/she will just tell you how to treat your teeth if there not in the best condition.
