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

1.25K 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.

But what about “pure” tobacco leaves like when e.g. native Americans smoke. Would that be considered cleaner than todays tobacco in cigarettes?
