It’s important to realise the difference between “less harmful” and “harmless” especially in situations like this.
Inhaling smoke full-stop is harmful, so whether it be from a car exhaust, a house fire, tobacco or cannabis, you’re doing damage to your lungs.
The reason people say cannabis is *less harmful* than tobacco is because of the different chemicals contains in smokable versions of the plants, those in tobacco being substantially more harmful.
There is a similar story surrounding vaping, although I’m not entirely sure if we’ve figured out yet just how bad vaping is, but I believe the prevailing sentiment is that again, it’s **less harmful but still dangerous**.
