Just tell them that cigarettes make you a little giddy sometimes. They'll just shrug. Maybe they'll ask you how often you smoke; and you say, not on the job.

Any buzz from tobacco is very short-term; many heavy smokers lose the buzz almost entirely, and have to smoke just to feel normal.

On the other hand, nobody I know ever built up a tolerance to marijuana. In fact, the more you smoke, the easier it is to get blasted and stay that way. That's why I quit, many years ago. I'd get high and feel the effects for the rest of the day; not full-blown giddiness, but a distance and disconnect from the world. Then it'd take me two days to come all the way back. Then three. Then I _never_ felt normal, even just getting high three days a week. So I stopped, because I value a clear head.
