Saw the same article in our paper this morning....the question is not whether it will pass or not. The question is, does it make a difference in people's perception and use of cell phones? Will fewer people buy and use cell phones any differently with or without a warning label?
Does a warning stop a smoker from buying a pack of cigarettes? Does a warning change someone's mind about having a drink and then driving? Does anyone read labels??
A label in and of itself is not going to change much, or even raise awareness. There are other means to do that,and the issue is still debatable.

I do see your point. I have read some articles of where it say that cell phones can cause brain cancer. Other articles say that cell phones can't. Even with a warning label, I think that people will not read it. Just go about talking on a cell phone.
In recent months i've used speaker phone or bluetooth instead of holding the cell phone directly to my ear.
