Is it normal to feel like i need a cigarette when i'm high?

I've been successfully quitting smoking for a week. I'm almost over the physical cravings, and I weened myself down to one every two days. Since I've quit my habit, whenever I smoke pot, I get that paranoid high- I become panicky, and later I get self-conscious and my energy and spirits drop in the hours following. I recently tried an experiment and smoked my long-lost after-bowl cigarette. I felt like I settled in to my high a lot more and calmed it and my nerves down.

Basically, my question is this: Is it normal to only smoke/need to smoke a cigarette when you're stoned?

    I'd got my cigarette intake down to one every two days and then finally cut them out completely. I did it at the same time as cutting out alcohol. I don't know about weed but it got to be that the only time I wanted to smoke was when I'd had a drink.

    And now, of course. Writing this I want one more than anything. But I've been such a good boy and my lungs don't feel like treacle any more. I've been close to breaking a few times and have stuck with it. If I'd have still been drinking, I think my willpower would have faltered. Maybe it's the same with you and weed. For me, it was impossible to quit just one thing. It had to be both.

    I don't know about you, but my friends and I know that when we finish a joint, it's time to light up a cig, it keeps you higher longer.

    It's very common. I know some people who only ever smoke cigarettes when they smoke weed or when they drink alcohol.

    I feel the urge to have a cigarette when I'm drunk, sometimes I'll have a cone just so I don't have a cigarette.

        It may be refered to as a "bowl" in your region.

    Simple solution: don't get stoned.

    It will be a double saving if you can put you cigarette money AND weed money to better use.
