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.

There’s actually debate as to if, puff for puff, tobacco or marijuana is worse; my understanding is that marijuana may actually be more harmful, in part because the smoke is much hotter.
A lot of it is because it’s rare for even the most stoniest stoner to smoke 20+ joints a day, while pack-a-day smokers are fairly common. Most cigarette smokers are having many cigarettes a day, while many marijuana users may only smoke a few times a month.
