Buerger's disease (aka - thromboangitis obliterans), is a very rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. Essentially, clots form in the blood vessels which impairs blood flow and eventually damages tissues, leading to infection/gangrene.
Virtually every patient who has this ailment is a smoker.
