Can Smoking Be The Reason For Rapid Heart Beat?

My heart seems to be beating quite hard compared to normal and I have been experiencing this for the past week or two. Do you know why this might be. I recently stopped smoking marijuana having smoked it full time for a while. I also smoke around 15 cigarettes a day. Any ideas?
