Nowadays, mobile
phones
Use synonyms
are compared to smoking as they both are considered antisocial.
Subsequently
Linking Words
, there are some beliefs that mobile
phones
Use synonyms
should be banned in some specific places as smoking already is. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with
this
Linking Words
idea as comparing smoking with the usage of mobile
phones
Use synonyms
is totally unfair. Smoking can cost your life
while
Linking Words
using smartphones does not put any person's health at risk. Certainly, using mobile
phones
Use synonyms
more than expected could make you lose the sense of time,
as well as
Linking Words
not paying too much attention to someone who is talking.
However
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
device never is considered risky for your health, which means that there is no reason to be banned.
For example
Linking Words
, some announcements made on the Internet established that the WIFI waves from mobile
phones
Use synonyms
were potentially carcinogenic for our cells.
Although
Linking Words
, a few weeks later, reliable resources denied
such
Linking Words
information, as being just fake news.
This
Linking Words
example shows clearly that some
people
Use synonyms
may be against smartphone usage, finding different reasons as an excuse to ban it but without any firm justifications.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, smoking could be considered antisocial because of the smoke that bothers other
people
Use synonyms
.
However
Linking Words
, using the phone does not affect directly the individuals, except for certain sounds that they eventually could make, but
this
Linking Words
is far away from being a real issue for the community.
For instance
Linking Words
, many
people
Use synonyms
prefer to use their
phones
Use synonyms
on public transport to not get bored and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
In other words
Linking Words
,
such
Linking Words
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
Linking Words
, as there are scientific resources that prove the disadvantages of smoking in public,
whereas
Linking Words
there are no reliable investigations about mobile
phones
Use synonyms
.
Additionally
Linking Words
,
people
Use synonyms
who prefer using the mobile phone
instead
Linking Words
of talking to someone in a public place could not be banned as there is free will and there is no wrongness in
this
Linking Words
.
