An article was published yesterday by the New York Times to raise concern over potential of smartwatches to cause cancer. The article had a headline: “Could wearable computers be as harmful as cigarettes?” But it was soon changed by the editors to make it sound less exaggerated, but the article itself spoke a lot about the risk of cancer from the radiation emitted by the smartphones and smartwatches.

Many science journalists were left in rage by the article for it being based on debunked studies and deriving conclusions from the work of a doctor generally regarded as a quack.
