Cell-phone warning bill already drawing lobbyists
Filed under General by david brooks at 7:18 am
Maine is considering enacting the nation’s first law mandating stickers on cell phones warning of brain cancer, and as the Portland Press-Herald reports, it’s drawing lobbyists like flies to honey.
I think the warnings are unnecessary and kind of silly, but if they make people use their cell phones less then maybe it’s a good thing - we’ll be subjected to fewer unavoidably overheard conversations in public. The sticker could say “Warning: Cell Phone Use Probably Won’t Harm Your Brain Cells But It May Harm The Fabric of Society.”
