I did hear that neuropathy gets worse with smoking due to the circulation.
I don't know where you heard that but you are misinformed.
Every case is different and smoking has not been studied in relationship to neuropathy so there are no studies or cases to suggest that smoking has any causal relationship to PN.
I have alcoholic neuropathy (for close to 12 years now). I stopped drinking completely for 5 years when I was first diagnosed. The PN did not progress, but it did not regress, either. Alcoholic PN is chronic, with no known cure. It is with me for life.
BTW, I've been a smoker for 50 years.
