London's Sunday Independent reports that a yet another mobile phone study has found that using one of those helpful little gadgets will kill more people than smoking or asbestos.
I guess if they're right, the answer to "where you at" will be "in the hospital, fool!"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.
The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.
It draws on growing evidence - exclusively reported in the IoS in October - that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.
But seriously. If I stop using my phone, can I smoke or drink more? We can't all live forever, and I think it might be harder to give up mobile services than nicotine. I don't just crave my phone, I love it. It keeps me connected. So, to express how I feel about my BlackBerry...
...is Rick Astley
