Mobile phones ‘more dangerous than smoking’ - Health News, Health & Wellbeing - The Independent

Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take “immediate steps” to reduce exposure to their radiation.

I don’t like them or use them much, and I’m sure that bluetooth or other ear pieces so you don’t have the cellphone transceiver next to your skull would help.

It is true. It is true. But perhaps other things are worse?

Well, yes there are a lot of others things that can be worse, but cell phones are something most people use almost every hour of the day. With such a busy life on everyone's hands, there is no time to sit down to eat a healthy meal. People always place orders for takeout, or drive through. I mention this because cell phones really help a person who is too busy with life. For example I pretty much schedule my life everyday!!! waking up going to class, hitting the gym for an hour, class again, then work, home by 9, make lunch for the next day!, do school work and hit the bed by 11pm. sometimes I find it hard to make time to make lunch for me the next day...since I have to pack a big lunch (healthy) because I have a long day every day. I miss the times I use to be home to watch some T.V and do my little hobbies...Cell phones are a great danger to our health as the article mentions. But yes there are many other things out there, which are worse. Such things could be too much sunlight, and not even sun protection during the summer; which causes skin cancer, and many of the time people are not even aware of the UV rays that are damaging their skin, while they are out for a short walk with the dog. How about the plastic bottles that leak chemicals into our water; we are not aware of it, because many people think its clean water that has been treated so must be safe? Well think again, yes it is clean, but what about the plastic that's holding it...is it safe? How was it made? Small things like this, many people don't have the time to think of...at least I think they don't have the time to invest in (when I say invest, I mean their effort for a safe and healthy life). I think that it is hard in such a chaos society; people are living a life with "time" and "Schedule". Some people say they just don't have time to work out (to live healthy in other words), some just clearly ignore signs, some just believe in god and faith, and some believe others and the media out there etc. Everyone has their own beliefs, after all that is what makes us all unique right? So, even now someone after reading this could argue with me that cell phones risks are "nothing" compared to this and that. Do you think anyone would give up technology, and live a life before too much technology even existed? let alone technology, there are many other things like the food we eat that are genetically modified, because we don’t have enough time to let them grow naturally; it's a demand! So who is to say what will be more important?
