So, your laser printer is slowly killing you "in much the same way as smoke particles from cigarettes". Well, if you're not allowed to smoke in a pub, why should you be able to print in an office? Ban them I say!

PS. If I read one more story about a perfectly safe activity being a health hazard, I'm gonna go insane. They'll be telling us Wi-Fi signals are microwaving our children's brains next. Oh :(

What ever happened to cell phones causing brain cancer. Did they just decide that cell phones are worth the risk? :p

One thing I notice is that if you listened to these studies you'd find out that everything is "bad" for ou and will cause cancer or something! One interesting thing is to find out who funded the study... for example one study said beef was bad for you, and it was funded by some vwgitable company.... and theres an add on caadian tv where the cigarette companies said milk was worse for you than second hand smoke!!!

I work in a print shop. By all means I should have a lumping tumor coming out of my torso any day now, according to that.
