Not sure, but...: Not sure, but neither habit is healthy and together they are likely be even unhealthier than either one alone.

More dopamine?: Both are substances that boost dopamine, and other neuro transmitters in the reward center of the brain, so for you perhaps the thc increases sensitization to nicotine in the brain, this is opposite of tolerance to a substance. Recent study on rats showed thc exposed rats worked harder for nicotine than non thc rats, i.e. Nicotine more addicitve. If its a " better high" more likely to repeat.
