[quote:Anonymous Coward 11720147:MV8xNzk3ODI3XzI5OTYwMzU0X0U3MDZFNzhB] I suppose its a health hazard since the person carrying a cellphone is surveilled by government agencies or the lithium battery pack may explode or start a fire but on the other hand are not the same individuals slamming cellphone technology are the same profession that should be speaking out on GMO foods, Japaneses reactor damage, high fructose corn syrup, and the elimination of herbs and vitamins by big pharmaceutical corporations?

Original Message
The labels will read 'Warning - the Health Ministry cautions that heavy use and carrying the device next to the body may
increase the risk of cancer
, especially among children.'
A bill requiring all cellphones sold in Israel to bear a health-hazard warning label passed its first of three readings into law on Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by MK Dov Khenin of Hadash and Yulia Shamalov Berkovich of Kadima, won blanket approval in parliament. It also requires all advertisements of mobile phones to bear the warning.
