Cell phones = stress...possibly cancer
These days, its pretty uncommon to go somewhere and NOT see someone walking around either talking, texting, or even holding a cell phone. Studies have found a problem behavior linked to using cell phones. 16% were found to have this behavior problem from their cell phones. They are either lying about how often they use their cell phones, becoming irritable after using them, or are usually preoccupied with them.In another study, blood pressure was found to be lower in those who gave up/ dont use cell phones. Once people start cutting down on using their cell phones, their blood pressure was lower than when they talked about them before.
After years of debate, warnings come about whether or not cell phones cause cancer. Experts advice is to limit cell phone use to as little as possible. There are 2 sides to the argument. One side is you can switch off your cell phone whenever you dont want to me contacted, and the other is the people have the given choice to work out of the office, and security.

I could believe that talking on your cell could cause stress. I am one of the extremely few people in the school who doesn't have a cell phone (i kid you not), and as such, i can go "off the grid" without cellphone withdrawal. Sure, cellphones have made communicating far easier than it has ever been, but there are times when cell phones just shouldn't be used, like a bathroom, bus, plane just before takeoff. Any addiction is bad, and should be fixed or prevented.
Oh, and while a cell phone does emit some radiation, it isn't enough to cause cancer, if that's what you meant.
