When you burn organic matter you create a lot of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other highly reactive carcinogens, which are what causes cancer in cigarettes. Perhaps that's lessened with a water bong, but I'd want to see proof for that. Smoke itself is what causes cancer regardless of what leaf is burned.
