Yes! > See your Dr.: Blue toes and pain in a smoker may be due to atherosclerotic vascular disease in the lower extremity(PVD) with cholesterol emboli traveling to the small arteries supplying the toes(Blue Toe Syndrome). It may also be due to Raynaud's Disease in which case the toes would intermittently turn blue in cold weather or if stressed. See > http://bit.ly/1Dj7Wxj and http://bit.ly/1Shv5Zv www.SmokeFree.gov
