Well, kinda, but the nitrosamine in tobacco is a big part of what causes cancer. That's why cannabis gets your lungs tarry which can lead to COPD and emphysema, but doesn't typically lead to cancer. It's also why vaping nicotine, while not harmless, is not as bad for your body as smoking cigarettes.

A lot of this nuance gets lost among the ads.
