2024-02-22 Smartphones: New cigarettes

1) Smartphones as the “next cigarette” due to addiction. Sadly, no discussion about the RF radiation health effects. A great article that, hopefully, will get some people thinking. I don’t care why people begin to reassess this dependence — just that they do. The comments are telling — especially the earliest ones.

Smartphones are the new cigarettes. We may look back at our collective addiction in disbelief

“The rise and fall of the cigarette industry in Canada is a good reminder that things can seem permanent, in business and in culture, and still shrink all the way out of sight. It happened with mass smoking. It could happen with the fixation that replaced smoking too. The global smartphone market may be worth about $500 billion (U.S.) annually today. But as smoking proved, even industries fuelled by fixations can bleed away.”

2) A great example of what happens when cell phone service is hacked, attacked, interrupted by weather, etc. No service, even for 911.

3) Another excellent new report by Dr. Hardell and Mona Nilsson.

An Eight Year Old Boy Developed Severe Headache in A School Close to A Mast with 5G Base Stations

“The fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is rapidly implemented in many countries. In Sweden currently the frequency band 3.5 GHz is used. The Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technique is used, whereby the technology produces fast, repetitive, very high pulses of Radio Frequency (RF) radiation. Before the roll-out no studies have been performed on acute or chronic health effects….

This case study is another example of the immediate need to halt the expansion of 5G and dismantle existing base stations….

All case studies showed that 5G leads to a very high exposure to RF radiation, much higher compared to levels measured from the previous generations 2G, 3G and 4G.”
