That is only a time displacement. In 1900, after hundreds (thousands?)
of years of tobacco use, the link between smoking and lung cancer was
"at best tenuous".

and at worst...... "Tumor(ous)"

How many years was it from the first smoke until the lung cancer link
was suspected? How many years was it from the first cellphone until
brain tumors were suspected? It is unlike only in the amount of time.

It is also 'unlike' in that the link between smoking and lung cancer is

Surprisingly, people are suing tobacco companies on the grounds that
'they didn't know' that smoking was bad for you. I suspect that these
are the same type of people who want to ban phone masts, but not the
phones themselves, of course, ie pretty thick!

The are probably also quite happy to have a TV transmitting mast at a
thousand or more times the power.

It is a well know fact that RF modulated with naff TV (East Enders, Big
Brother etc) is rendered safe and has no adverse effects (unless you watch
the programmes).

For those with limited technical knowledge of EM radiation (eg at a level
where they believe in heat bands) the above is intended as humour.
