Namaskaram,
gum bleeding is mostly due to the tartar near your gum line. They cannot be removed by brushing alone. A dentist uses a scaler tip to dislodge these deposits. Smoking will make it worse. Please visit a dentist at the earliest.

Smoking is not good for health even lesser in number. So please quit smoking. The bleeding in the gums may be due to calculus deposition on the tooth line along the gums the hard calculus irritates the gums thus causing bleeding and pain. Visit a dentist for proper scaling and polishing. Maintain a good oral hygiene. The dentist may diagnose of any other issue if present.
