I do believe vaping would eliminate ingestion of carcinogens. Unless there's something they add that is carcinogenic. Okay - or unless there is either something in marijuana that is carcinogenic in biologically significant amounts or something in the process of vaping and presence in the lungs makes it carcinogenic (for example, silica is considered to be carcinogenic in the lungs). Probably not for both, but who knows. As you say, stuff added might make it a problem. As to smoking: combustion is a chemical reaction. The starting material produces different sets of chemicals and depending upon that material, there may be compounds produced that are carcinogenic. Tobacco we all know produces these compounds. As you mentioned, at least one carcinogenic material is produced when marijuana is combusted. e-cigarettes don't even contain tobacco, just nicotine. Yes, but nicotine messes around in biological cycles and it increases the chances/severity of cancer. (Synergistic effects) In addition there is mounting evidence that it could actually cause cancer: nature.com BTW I don't use anything of that nature. Don't smoke or vape anything. Neither do I.
