But instead, as the article continued, the only evidence to the claim is:
“…smoking kills some five million people worldwide each year, but three billion people now use mobile phones worldwide and the number is growing daily”
Can you see how misleading the headlines now that handphones are more dangerous than smoking? Their evidence to support that claim is that there are more users of mobile phones than tobacco users, thus more ‘dangerous’.
But the fact is, we can link directly the FIVE MILLION preventable deaths to tobacco smoking each year, and NONE so far have died from handphone radiation, ever!
Consumer Association of Penang (CAP) is a joke. So many other consumer issues require our attention, such as healing crystals, chiropractic and useless health products by MLM companies, and yet the CAP president SM Mohamed Idris has to start a crusade against handphones.
