I think it has more to do with the fact that nicotine is so far and away the most addictive substance around. Once the body becomes dependant (I'm not using the word addicted for a reason) on a substance, denying that substance triggers a "panic alarm" of sorts. This can be in the form of nervousness, sweating, raise in blood pressure, shaking or whatever. Getting that substance will trigger a receptor in the brain telling the body to go back to "normal" which is how a stimulant can give a calming affect. It doesen't matter what the substance is, nicotine for a tobacco smoker, THC for pot smoker, or even a heavy meal for a chronic over-eater (which was me) will trigger the same response.
I haven't smoked pot for almost a year now, and I'm currently trying to re-kick the cig habbit. As for the difference in the feeling between pot and tobacco, yes they are very different. Pot definately slows me down and makes me dizzy and happy, the feeling lasts for a good hour or more. Cigs tend to make me wired and dizzy, but a different kind of dizzy, like amped up, and the feeling lasts only about 5-10 minutes.
