I'm not sure that it hurt anti-proliferation efforts, but the idea that it helps them seems to be pretty silly. Disarming isn't going to make others disarm. If we got rid of nuclear weapons completely, North Korea or Iran would have even more reason for nuclear weapons programs than they do now. Going below the level where we could trivially devastate both countries and still have a good sized stockpile remaining would probably harm anti-proliferation efforts for that reason, but we aren't talking about going down that far, at least not yet.
