The reading I've done on the subject seems to suggest that if there is some kind of health hazard related to cell phone, and I believe they were referring to cancer, we won't likely see the effects for about a decade as the illness begins to be documented.

Researchers don't even know conclusively yet if cell phones are bad for our health, and not one of us it qualified to say one way or another. Do I think it's possible cell phone could be a health hazard? Absolutely.

There, I changed it to "Yes, cell phones are a health hazard." Does that make it easier for you to debate?

I love phones and everything but they r 2 a health hazard. It's not so serious to which you need a prescription or a licinces to use one though. People just get so sucked into their phones that they forget to look up before crossing the street, or look up before making an U turn.

I don't know but I don't remember seeing anyone with pop corn coming out of their ears. Anyway, it looks like the cell phone only pops ears of corn not human ears, so....

Only if someone drops one from the top of a building and it happens to hit you on the head, causing a concussion, or possibly a quite sore head.

What about a sleek but heavy cellphone @ terminal velocity to the head? Oh no, maybe they really are hazards...
