Cigarettes don't really cause cavities if you have healthy teeth, but they can certainly speed up the process of getting one because the nicotine is absorbed in your mouth through the smoke while you are inhaling, whether or not you "direct inhale". Proof: The yellow and brown nicotine stains that are dominant in people who have smoked for a long time, and personal experience.

No. What causes cavities is bacteria, and marijuana doesn't kill bacteria. If anything, you may be munching on stuff that's going to lead to cavities, or just forgetting to brush your teeth.
