The use of mobile phones is as antisocial as smoking. Smoking is banned in certain places so mobile phones should be banned like smoking. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the question of whether mobile phones should be banned like smoking in public places or not has been receiving a great deal of public attention.

Although

using cell phones has some demerits,

this

suggestion is groundless and I totally don't agree. There is a whole host of reasons why people are not in favour of banning mobile phones.

First

, since mobile

phone

and cigarettes are two distinct products, any comparisons seem implausible. In fact, cigarettes contain some hazardous chemical compounds that directly deteriorate human’s health, while mobile

phone

has nothing to do with these poisonous chemicals, which makes the idea of prohibiting mobile phones unreasonable.

Second

, people, rather than mobile phones, are the factors that ultimately decide to engage in antisocial behaviour. In fact, there are plenty of mobile

phone

users who are even more

prosocial

than non-users, which leads to an insignificant causal relationship between mobile phones and antisocial behaviour. There are other compelling reasons for not banning mobile phones.

First

,

this

device is considered the best tool in emergency situations, especially in public places. In fact, when people require assistance in unexpected problems

such

as accidents, rescue, fire,…, mobile

phone

is one of the easiest means to contact relatives.

Secondly

,

this

tool

also

helps people exchange information more quickly than the traditional ways which cost time and money.

This

means that thanks to mobile

phone

, the communication of humans becomes more convenient and effective. In conclusion, from the above advantages of cell

phone

, a suggestion to ban

this

device is unreasonable. As long as people use mobile

phone

consciously, it will promote the role of

this

type of technology in life.
