CDC (The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has revealed that people who possess landlines tend to be healthier, and less "risky" with tobacco and alcohol. Mobile phone-only users are statistically more likely to smoke, binge drink and lack health insurance than their landline-using counterparts. When asked if youth played any part in the figures, Stephen Blumberg from the The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which carried out the survey, said "Well, except when we controlled for age, we still saw these differences. Essentially, if we just looked at young people, we still saw that those young people who were wireless-only were more likely to drink and more likely to smoke than young people who had landlines."
