From the Paper:

"As with other aspects of modern technology, cell phones may also contribute negatively to society and to individuals who use them extensively. Despite recent news of research to the contrary, many still worry about the long term medical consequences of long-term heavy cell phone use. Cell phone use has also been strongly implicated in causing vehicular accidents, prompting state legislation banning cell phone use while driving."
