I wouldn't call Tobacco infinitly worse. It doesn't really provide any upsides, but it's not more unhealthy then Marijuana.
Some health studies make it look worse but that's largely because they compare pack a day smokers to people who get high a couple times a month.
Same usage rates, cancer worries are likely the same.

There are many studies out there with conflicting results on lung cancer ranging from higher risk than tabacco to reducing the risk, so we can't pretend to know either way, and even if the risk of cancer was equal with the same usage rates, the average weed user smokes a lot less than the average tabacco user, as you mentioned. And then you have edibles, and vaping which is quite popular and does very little damage to the lungs if any.
What we do know is there are hundreds of thousands of recorded deaths a year related to tabacco, and no recorded deaths related to weed, and one substance is extremely addictive while the other isn't very addictive.

The studies aren't conflicting. Simply just done with different presets so as to present different results.

So which ones present the legitimate results? I would like to know what your claim is based on.
