Laser printers offer good quality and are very fast printers. So, it is a good technology. That said, might it be that it is a technology that has side effects on our health? Laser printers spew out large amounts of particulate matter into the air which can be harmful when breathed in. Like cigarettes' smoke are harmful too to our health. So we must avoid in getting close to printers especially while printing or else we are getting close to our death...<br><br>_____________________________<br>jane<br>Don't waste money on Printer Ink.

Non-smokers shouldn't have to put up with a nasty habit that affects our health just because someone else chooses to smoke.

What exactly are they owed for spewing their fumes into the air around the rest of us and throwing their trash all over the ground? You would think common sense and courtesy would make bans and regulations unnecessary, but the vast majority of smokers don't exhibit those qualities when smoking. As with any special interest group, if you don't police your own, the whole group suffers the consequences.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2007 8:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/laser-printers-as-bad-for-you-as-cigarettes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/laser-printers-as-bad-for-you-as-cigarettes/</guid><description><![CDATA[You gotta die sometime.
