Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking'

When you put a device that transmits energy right next to your head, you're taking a risk that the transmitted energy interacts with the matter in your head/brain. The longer and more often you put the device up to your head, the more opportunities there are for the interaction.

Everything else is just a mathematical probability.

When you put a device that contains chemical potential energy over your legs, you're taking a risk that the energy is released and interacts with your legs/groin. The longer and more often you put the device over your legs, the more opportunities there are for the interaction.

Everything else is just a mathematical probability. Let's stop wearing pants.

[numbers needed]

To say that an activity is "taking a risk" with total disregard as to the magnitude of the risk is misleading to put it nicely.

How does this compare to the exposure from other electromagnetic signals? Should I immediately rip out the power lines going through the wall that I'm sitting next to? Destroy my tv?
