Cellphones more dangerous than smoking!

oh my...and to think sometimes i talk on the phone for up to 5 hours....

anywayz...

i think he could be right because they are beams...kind like microwaves maybe???idk the type they are though... but it could be very true
 
interesting article but i don't think that it will stop a lot of americans from using cell phones. i know i won't slow down my use on cell phones because of the possible brian cancer i may get further down the road.
 
I was under the impression that the waves from cellphones were a frequency which wasn't harmful to humans even if the usage of the cell was for a longer period of time.
 
"I heard that it's harder to quit smoking than it is to stop doing heroine."

"What does that mean? So I started doing heroine...and he was wrong! I'm gonna die..."
 


Yeah, why don't we all just communicate by smoking cigarettes? Many of us know that cellphones must be harmful in some way, but we choose to ignore it. Same goes with global warming, driving cars, everyday life.

 
Still need more proof than that. Though I do believe that there are problems with cell phones. Whether it is emotional/mental attachment and addiction or physical radiation, there are alot of things wrong with them. On the other hand, they are getting to the point where we can't live without em.
 
I agree but just think, cell phones are here to stay, primarily taking over land lines. We will most likely be using them for the next 50 years. Now the said use for 10 years can make you twice as likely to develop tumors...so 5 times that? Not good.
 
come on stas, how many mins a day do you log talking on a phone? Also hasnt this theroy of cellphones and brain cancer been around for a while?
 
not much but still, how many people are going to stop because of the possible brain cancer they might get from talking on the phone.

THIS JUST IN NEWSCHOOLERS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN CELL PHONES WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN SMOKING SO EVERYONE IS GOING TO BRAIN CANCER.

 
I think that stating that cellphones are more dangerous than smoking is pushing it a little far. There has been conclusive research correlating smoking and cancer. There has been no conclusive research on cell phones and cancer. This guy claims his study is more accurate because he had patients with 10+ years of cell phone usage. Well here is another study with opposite findings.

Ultimately driving your car, huckin your body off of a 60 ft booter, or even consumption of fast food is more dangerous than cell phones.
 
seems totally possible, even tho they are super low energy waves, when you are exposed to it for so long and so close to your ear it can def cause problems. Those 12year old girls who are on a phone 4 hours a day are gonna get brain cancer
 
this is old news.

back in like 01 there were ads for devices you put under your battery to deflect most of the harmful radiation.

glad im not a cell phone whore.
 
If you put the phone to your ear after the phone connects, the radiation stops, its putting the phone to your ear during the ringing and beaming phase where its connecting to the satelite thats dangerious.
 
def not true...radio frequencies have no biological affects, sounds like this guy is getting old and paranoid
 
chance of getting brain caner is what 1% tops. two times one percent is 2%

so if you use a phone for ten years(i'm working on three) you still have a 98% chance of not getting it and thats pretty good.

the article said smoking kills 5 million a year. it said cell phones could be more dangerous so lets say they start killing 6 million a year and lets round the population to an even six billion so that would mean your chances of dying from a cell phone related tumor are about 1 in 600,000 you are much more likely to get hit by a car or some other random thing

bottom line don't worry about it if you are unlucky enough to be that one in 600,000 it's just your time

(and i know stats aren't dead on but they are close enough to make my point so don't bitch me out)
 
if that were true, bluetooth wouldn't help. it's just more radio waves. it doesn't connect to your phone through magic.
 
i always try to keep my phone out of my pockets in my jeans....i don't wanna get cancer down there!

All i can think about is the very end of Thankyou for Smoking.

SO excited to learn about all the side effects of our technology culture
 
let us know when you take a statistics course, then you might be able to form a rough guess on the probablitiy of cell phone cancer correlation.

did you forget that not everyone in the world has a cell phone?

you need to compair a sample of people who have cell phones to people who have cell phones and develop brain cancer

you need to use 3 billion as your population size, not 6, as only 3 billion people use cell phones according to the article.

lets just use the 5 million to say that if cell phones kill just as many people as smoking does how dangerous would they be?

5,000,000/ 3,000,000,000 = .001 or .1% risk on global scale

a more practical *bullshit* statistic would look at the dangers of cell phones in America as that is where Most of us I live.

66% of americans own a cell phone

population of US = 301,139,947 * .66 = 198,752,365 cell phone owners in US

5 million is the death toll world wide so this number won't work becuase we're dealing with just the US population. The best i could find was smoking kills 440,000 in the US each year, what do you say we just use this as the number for cell phone usage -- that way if cell phones killed AT LEAST as many as smoking they'll kill 440,000

440,000 / 198,752,365 = .002 risk of cell phone death

440,000/45,300,000 = .009 risk of smoking death

in order for cell phones to be as dangerous as smoking they'd need to kill around 2 million people

the point of this is, you don't know statistics, and your math is WAY off.

I'm not trying to make a point with my statistics, i think that the numbers are too fuzzy for this to be anything other than bullshit. But if you want bullshit, i have provided.

 
too bad cellphones use microwave radiation

not radiowaves.

and theres a good amount of evidence out there to say that microwaves arent the best for you.

ex. Ever stick a baby in a microwave?

cell phones dont have such a dramatic effect, but the microwaves could still fuck you up
