What exactly makes tobacco more harmful/carcinogenic for the body than cannabis?

1.13K viewsOther

Is it the chemical makeup of nicotine vs THC/CBD? Given the fact they are both smoked, and burnt plant matter are both inhaled in the lungs, it is said that burnt tobacco smoke is more carcinogenic than cannabis smoke. Also, cannabis is used medicinally and therapeutically whereas tobacco is not.

Edit: I am aware that cannabis is better used medicinally as a tincture or in a non-smoked method (i.e. edibles). That would be the safest method of consumption.

Regardless of whether tobacco ITSELF is more harmful, most smokers have no problem smoking a pack of 20 a day. Compare that to the approximately handful of joints, if even that, that a cannabis user might smoke in a day, and you have an issue with amounts. So even if they were exactly the same, a tobacco user smokes way more in a day.
