Why is smoking weed “better” than smoking cigarettes or vaping? Aren’t you inhaling harmful foreign substances in all cases?

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**.
