There was once a time when everyone thought cigarettes were harmless? Look how that turned out. Is the same thing happening with cell phones? Some people think yes and others think no. Even scientific studies have come up with different conclusions. A Danish study has concluded there is no connection between cell phone use and cancer; however, this study is based on numbers prior to the cell phone boom. A researcher from Albany claims that we will see an epidemic in regards to brain cancer due to current cell phone usage. One thing is in agreement. There need to be more studies to come up with a more concrete answer.

Maine state legislator Andrea Boland isn’t willing to wait. She knows there are nearly 1 million cell phone users in her state that could be in danger. That’s why she has a proposal for as early as January 2010. If her bill passes, she wants labels on all handsets and packaging, explaining the potential risks for brain cancer. Not only that, but she wants a picture of a child’s brain next to the warning. This is her way to really hit home with her message. Anything that can potentially save lives is usually a good idea.
