Peripheral vascular : If the circulation to your legs is poor you need to see a vascular doc to evaluate the situation. There are various options. If you are smoking you need to stop.

Depends: Definitely stop smoking. Start a regular and progressive walking program. See your doctor about medication, or further testing which may include a blood pressure and doppler test of your leg. More severe cases my require a catheter based intervention or a surgical bypass.
