My understanding is that at least several recent studies have been
impeccable in terms of scholarship...  The JAMA and the New England Journal
of Medicine weren't publishing those tobacco studies.  

Of course, the hand-held cell-phone hasn't been around long enough for
anyone to be sure of the longer-term effects, and no real scientist is ever
going to say "never."  But I'd a lot rather deal with what is now known
about the epidemiology of cell-phone use than what's known about, for
example, diesel engine pollution...
