To see where it is getting set, execute

:verbose set comments?

To override a filetype plugin's setting of this, put your setting
in, for example,

~/.vim/after/ftplugin/cpp.vim

Putting your setting in ~/.vim/ftplugin/cpp.vim will not work
because the default $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/cpp.vim file is loaded
after ~/.vim/ftplugin/cpp.vim. (See ":help 'rtp'".)

Putting your setting in ~/.vim/cpp.vim will not work because Vim
does not read that file unless you source it explicitly.

You may want to read

:help ftplugin-overrule
:help startup
