Cell Phones The New Cigarettes?

According to the WHO (World Health Organization), Cell phones are now classified in the same "carcinogenic hazards" category as lead, chloroform, and engine exhaust.

“A 31 person research team from 14 different countries, including the united states, made this important decision after reviewing peer reviewed studies on cell phone safety.”

The big question now however, is what do we do now? Make regulations on cell phones similar to cigareetes were only a certain age can purchase and use? Do we just stop using them all together, or will the governments across the world intervene? Will it be illegal to have a cell phone on in public places? What do you think?

Whatever the case may be on the previous, just remember every time you use a cell phone or are in the close proximity of a cell phone your putting yourself at risk for cancer.
