3,000 deaths a year by second-hand smoke.

Over 42,000 deaths a year by alcohol.

I'm not agaisnt a smoking ban, I'm against a ban on one dangerous intoxicant which disrupts other peoples lives, but not another.

From the article: "Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year, according to the journal's publisher, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society."

Cell phones are potentially hazardous to your health and other people's health! It even has the potential to kill you and people around you! Cell phones must be just as dangerous as cigarettes!

BAN CELL PHONES

There's nowhere I can't reach.
