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.

The answer is nobody is really sure, there are tons of compounds you could point to and say that’s the culprit. The tsna definitely plays a role, but have you ever dragged a cigarette? The smoke burns your lungs like immediately, and as a whole tobacco smoke is very harsh and hot to the lungs which are delicate.
