I mean to say that for some medical ailments, the treatment is smoking. The treatment for smoking addiction can involve vapes. The treatment for many mental disorders can involve cannabis.
You’re right that it’s not the foreignness of the substances that is the cause of harm, but rather the nature of the substance and the amount consumed (which is usually a substantially large dose compared to others)

Smokeless tobacco has been around for centuries. Snuff (and I don’t mean Snus) the snorting route is actually relatively safe. One or two instances of cancer in centuries.

Sorry, I only meant to talk about smoking as a delivery method for various substances. Of any popularly smoked substance tobacco is by far the worst.
