Chamonix Tripadvisor - Are Mobile Phones the New Tobacco?

However could we now have a new tobacco brewing on our doorsteps. They would never pass organisations like the Therapeutic Goods Administration who are responsible for clearing products for safety before being released to the Australian market, i think most people would concede that if cigarettes and tobacco were invented today. Etc, pregnant mothers, corporate sponsorship of sporting events like Formula 1 and advertising in general, lawsuits from addicts suing manufacturers, i think most of us a familiar with the tobacco wars of recent times and how it is has manifested itself into aspects of our lives through issues like smoking at public venues.

However phone companies are not making their product addictive like tobacco and given the global use and endless studies on mobiles there is not a conclusive study saying they are dangerous. It bears a lot of similarities to tobacco. There are even now support groups to help people who are addicted to their phone and people as young as 6 are found to be heavy users. So far all have been dismissed, now a growing momentum of lawsuits are being filed. Insiders have come out and said that long term use may be dangerous and warning information is now made available. In fact phone manufacturers spend vast amounts of money discrediting findings that say otherwise. Mobile companies deny any link between their product and things like cancer, like tobacco companies in the past. Thus terms like passive mobile use and usage bans in public may be a realistic possibility. There is a growing wave of scientists who believe mobile phones will be the new tobacco.

Annoying for fellow commuters in trains and patrons in movies and is spawning a whole new butchered version of the English language, it is becoming another anti-social activity, apart from the possible health risks of heavy mobile phone use. Do it in moderation, well like they say with anything. What does that mean you should do?
