Maine wants cell phones to carry cancer label

[Grandpa Pipes]

Now that tobacco is unsafe the nannys are going after cell phones.

"Maine wants to be the first state to force carriers to post cancer warnings on their products, according to the Associated Press. A connection between cellphones and cancer is still still hotly debated. While some scientists do believe there could be harm posed to children whose brains are still developing, recent overseas studies have suggested there's no connection between cellphone use and cancer rates.

I use my cell phone for emergencies only or if i need to make a very quick call and the cell phone is the only option.
Though it's a "hot debate", i can't stand using my cell phone and trust my body's response to it.
What really bothers me is the extent that kids use them.
I don't know about the politics of regulating them, but i have a fairly strong sense that they're actually not safe especially as a primary phone and with constant use.

Yeah, I wonder also since some kids (most that have them really) have that cell glued to their heads every waking moment!
