Are Cell Phones riskier than smoking?

(March 31) -- Cell phones could kill more people than smoking or asbestos exposure, according to an award-winning Australian cancer expert who was trained at the Mayo Clinic in the United States.

Vini Khurana (cancer expert), based his findings on more than 100 studies on the effects of cell phone
use.

"There is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours," he said in The Independent. Evidence shows that using cell phones for 10 years or more can double a person's risk of brain cancer, the newspaper reported.

i think you will get cancer reguardless of what you do or do not do. show me a study that says that this "certain" brain tumor wasn't around until cell phones became common use and ill consider stopping.

And not only that, but too much time doing ANYTHING can be bad for you. I for one do not spend the kind of time on my cell phone that might possibly cause problems and neither do my teenaged kids even. I agree that there is no real way to tie cell phones to cancer unless you can pin it down to a certain type of cancer that only cell phones cause...
