Inhaling smoke of any kind is not a great idea, but these days there are plenty of other ways to consume marijuana without smoking it.

Oh yes marijuana does have the cancer causing effects that cigarettes do (or smoking Marijuana does to be clear.) Not only that it has a higher concentration of them. The study I read a few years back is that smoking a joint gives you about 4 times the carcinogens that a cigarette does.
Difference is a lot more people smoke cigs (and more of them) so it has much higher effect on health costs overall.
