Cell Phone Cancer

Just when you thought it might be safe to go back to your cell phone, along comes more information to further fuel the fires of controversy over the possible health risks of the mobile devices.

Maine state Rep. Andrea Boland, a Democrat, recently put forth LD 1706 (HP 1207), “An Act to Create the Children’s Wireless Protection Act.” OK, before we get into the content of this, I have to ask — we need an act to create an act? If you can just go ahead and make the one act, why use it to make the second one? You could save a step and just make the second one. Yes, I know — legislation isn’t that simple, and the two uses of the word ‘act’ probably have different meanings.

This act, if enacted, will require a warning label to be put on all cell phones sold in Maine. The label will say, “WARNING, THIS DEVICE EMITS ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION, EXPOSURE TO WHICH MAY CAUSE BRAIN CANCER. USERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, SHOULD KEEP THIS DEVICE AWAY FROM THE HEAD AND BODY.”

Now, putting aside the issue of whether they are correct in their stance that cell phones could cause all of that, will this warning label actually curtail cell phone use? I believe the answer to be, no way. Look at cigarettes. We in the United State have had some sort of warning label on cigarette packages since the mid-60’s, and yet millions of Americans still smoke. Only recently, when there have been crackdowns on targeted advertising, smoking bans in public areas, and the development of pharmaceutical aids to help people quit has the percentage of smokers begun to taper off.

Only six states plus the District of Columbia have laws against handheld cell phone use while driving.
