Is vanity in their present worth skin cancer in their future? I am on a mission to shut these dangerous devices down.
Here is an excerpt from an article published in Britain today:
The World Health Organization guidance said young people who get burnt from exposure to UV have a greater risk of skin cancer as adults.
Research has made a direct link between the use of sunbeds and cancer. There are 132,000 cases of the most dangerous form of skin cancer globally each year.
The WHO said it was issuing its warning now as many people began to think about developing a tan as summer approached.
The consequence of this sunbed usage has been a precipitous rise in the number of skin cancer cases.

If I had a daughter, I wouldn't let her use tanning beds nor lie out in the sun.
Tanning beds are just as bad as sunbathing without sunscreen on.
No wonder skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer in America.

I used the tanning beds one summer when I was 30 and got skin cancer. Never again. I am 41 now

Because I believe that life is not a journey to the grave with the objective of arriving safely in a well-preserved body. (After all-what does it matter what you look like when you're dead??), but rather sliding in sideways at full throttle-all used up, thoroughly worn out and loudly proclaiming "WOW! What a ride!"
Life is harmful to your health by it's nature. The only cure is death. It's gonna eventually happen anyway-why not do what you enjoy doing.

Why do parents allow their kids to smoke. Tanning beds are not safe and neither is starting smoking. Both can cause cancer!!
You can't stop your kids from alot they do!!
