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.

I suspect “it is said” by sellers and fans of cannabis. Cannabis is now a barely regulated, $13 billion industry. When there’s that much money in play, hucksters and marketers start to spin tails. Truth is that smoke from burning plant matter is always carcinogenic.
Also, nicotine actually is used medicinally for things like Parkinson’s. You tend not to hear about it because it’s going through actual clinical trials rather than grower marketing.
