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.

natural tobacco is good for natural things as well. like getting rid of excess fluid in the lungs. which can then be soothed with vg imo
the carbon released when you spark your lighter, the butane burning the air and creating black sut that you inhale. that’s what causes cancer. and the cigarette butts are made of asbestos. especially menthol
Regardless of whether tobacco ITSELF is more harmful, most smokers have no problem smoking a pack of 20 a day. Compare that to the approximately handful of joints, if even that, that a cannabis user might smoke in a day, and you have an issue with amounts. So even if they were exactly the same, a tobacco user smokes way more in a day.
as an ex smoker here is my take. I had a collapsed lung, went to hospital where after an x-ray I was informed I had blisters on my lung. The nurses who were really sound with me informed me that weed burns at a higher temp than tobacco, hence the blisters and an increase of a collapsed lung. Not good to be fair. if you take it, best do it through oils or food.
Tobacco is full of poison, formaldehyde, arsenic and a shit ton of other poisons and carsonagens but burns at a lower temp so less chance of a collapsed lung but higher chance of cancer etc. absolutley fuck tobacco.
I’ve always wondered if the anti cancer properties that THC has, kind of created a homeostasis with the carcinogenic properties myself.
