Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks

RevWaldo contributes a link to an AP story carried by Google, according to which "The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer. The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don't find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration." RevWaldo continues: "One possible solution offered? 'Use a wireless headset.' No risk of EM exposure from one of them, no sirree!"

As one non-smoker to another?

What qualifies you to tell other people what to do? They might share similar attributes, but they might ONLY share one similarity - non-smoking.

As an ex-smoker, I think second hand smoke is disgusting, not only because I've successfully quit, but because I've seen the effects of smoke.
I'm not talking about cancer. I'm talking about the colour of the walls in a smoker's home - they turn grey, and stink. I don't want that stuff on me, or on my clothes, and certainly not in my lungs.
