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

Nowadays, mobile

phones

are compared to smoking as they both are considered antisocial.

Subsequently

, there are some beliefs that mobile

phones

should be banned in some specific places as smoking already is. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with

this

idea as comparing smoking with the usage of mobile

phones

is totally unfair. Smoking can cost your life

while

using smartphones does not put any person's health at risk. Certainly, using mobile

phones

more than expected could make you lose the sense of time,

as well as

not paying too much attention to someone who is talking.

However

,

this

device never is considered risky for your health, which means that there is no reason to be banned.

For example

, some announcements made on the Internet established that the WIFI waves from mobile

phones

were potentially carcinogenic for our cells.

Although

, a few weeks later, reliable resources denied

such

information, as being just fake news.

This

example shows clearly that some

people

may be against smartphone usage, finding different reasons as an excuse to ban it but without any firm justifications.

On the other hand

, smoking could be considered antisocial because of the smoke that bothers other

people

.

However

, using the phone does not affect directly the individuals, except for certain sounds that they eventually could make, but

this

is far away from being a real issue for the community.

For instance

, many

people

prefer to use their

phones

on public transport to not get bored and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In other words

,

such

an accusation would not be fair to anybody, as there is no valid reason to justify the "antisocial attitude". In conclusion, comparing smoking with smartphone usage as antisocial is excessive. I completely disagree with

this

, as there are scientific resources that prove the disadvantages of smoking in public,

whereas

there are no reliable investigations about mobile

phones

.

Additionally

,

people

who prefer using the mobile phone

instead

of talking to someone in a public place could not be banned as there is free will and there is no wrongness in

this

.
