Hey everybody, look at my cool rat puppet!

Seriously? You're going to compare smoking to cell phone use? Are you kidding? That's ridiculously ignorant. Smoking is bad for you because you're inhaling toxic junk! Are you using your cell phone by lighting it on fire and breathing the smoke? Because if you're using a cell phone to, I dunno, make phone calls, you are no worse off than sitting in front of the television absorbing all those nasty photons. Three things to remember about "radiation": First, the "bad" kind is high energy, it can ionize atoms and cause cells to grow incorrectly (cancer). Second, Microwave radiation (radio waves a.k.a. wifi, broadcast TV, bluetooth, cell phones) is at the completely opposite end of the spectrum, lowest energy. Even visible light is higher energy, and it's not ionizing either. Third, your own body produces 100 Watts of infrared radiation whereas a typical cell phone produces 1 Watt of lower energy microwave radiation. But, don't take my word for it, I don't have a Masters degree in Physics like this guy: http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/environment/cellphone.html Some perspective: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm
