Can we make a GMO cigarette that does not cause cancer?

It is doubtful that it is possible to genetically modify tobacco to make a cancer free cigarette. The problems are that tobacco is cured to give it the flavor, and that the tobacco is burned during smoking. Burning objects tend to produce carcinogens. So it doesn't matter what tobacco is used.However, if you want to make a cancer-free cigarette, you would have to use a technology that doesn't include burning things. So that is where electronic cigarettes come in. They do not burn, so nothing gets turned into carcinogens while you smoke it. That said, the technology is not perfect nor risk free. To make one that tastes like a traditional cigarette, some carcinogens would have to be added. With time, people could get away from wanting that taste. Plus, there is also a risk that ordinary cigarettes don't have, and that is exploding batteries. For some e-cigarettes, the mouthpiece is a modified battery, and if that explodes while you are using it, it could mean dental loss or other injury.
