Yes, both Marijuana and Cigarette can cause increase in heart rate. Cigarette and Marijuana smoke also decreases the oxygen level in blood by replacing it with Carbon Monoxide.
As you are a known case of G6PD deficiency you are at an even higher risk due to the ill effects of smoking, so I would recommend you quit both and live a healthy life.
Thank you
