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

1.29K 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.

Because tobacco contains radioactive lead 210, polonium 210, as well as radium. These are all radioactive elements that can cause cancer to the user and those around them.
