Many of the harmful effects of smoking tobacco are not directly related to the tobacco itself but rather from many of the additives that are used in the production of a package of cigarettes. There are more than 500 additives used by the major tobacco companies for everything from keeping the cigarettes fresh to flavour, to even burning etc. Many of these additives on their own are also not extremely harmful but when burned produce a carcinogenic smoke.
So here's the thing, marijuana does not contain any of these additives. I am not saying that there are no adverse affects to smoking pot or tobacco either, but really what doesn't have it's risks these days? There will always be those advocating one thing or another and there will be those opposing them. People really have to make a personal decision based on all the information that they can get.
