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.

Cannabis contains higher quantities of the carcinogenic chemicals found in tobacco. In equal amounts, cannabis is actually much more harmful to you. However, most tobacco smokers smoke a lot more tobacco (or what’s commonly referred as “chain-smoking”) versus a cannabis user who often smokes very little in comparison.
Cannabis is actually more harmful to you but tobacco smokers usually smoke much more tobacco therefore tobacco tends to be more harmful due to the addictive nature of nicotine.
Please refer to u/NormalTechnology post above I was unaware of this
