Mobile
phones

are now very common tools and they are considered essential elements in our daily lives.
However
Linking Words
, when used improperly like at restaurants, theatres or trains they can be annoying. For these reasons, some claim that they should be regulated just like smoking and forbidden in certain situations but are they really the same? Indeed, it is a common opinion that smoking is not only a bad habit but
also
Linking Words
very dangerous for the health of smokers and of people around them.
Thus
Linking Words
, in the
last
Linking Words
decade it's been progressively banned from many public places like bars and restaurants

and parks and beaches
then

.
For instance
Linking Words
, I've recently found out during a trip to Spain that it is not possible anymore to smoke in bars even if you are sitting outside. So, considering that it is a well-known risk factor for many serious pathologies governments are discouraging citizens from using it.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, the situation for mobile
phones

is different.
First
Linking Words
of all, almost everyone has at least one and for many is an essential tool due to its multiple functions.
Moreover
Linking Words
, we all use it not only to call and text but
also

for reading emails or just to take pictures and check our social networks.
However
Linking Words
, despite its usefulness, it is too often used in situations where it shouldn't.
For example
Linking Words
, recently at La Scala of Milan, a famous theatre, some people protested with others that were using their
phones

to take photos and videos during the show. 
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, its regulation may be difficult. To sum up, as far as I'm concerned, mobile
phones
Use synonyms
shouldn't be treated like smoking considering the fact that we don't know yet if they are associated with health problems and that they could be necessary in case of emergency.
In addition
Linking Words
, apart from specific rules, it should be regulated by common sense and respect towards others, avoiding using them during social events.
