Small fiber peripheral neuropathy and alcohol

As a recovering alcoholic with IPN, I have not noticed much change other than my life is back in order. Still have numbness, an rare bouts of pins and needles. I have been through every test imaginable over the years including genetic and no plausible cause has been detected.
The one variable is that I use nicotine lozenges(couldn’t quit everything) and there is a suggestion that nicotine may trigger PN, but no definitive answer. Has anyone else looked into the nicotine connection?’
