yes they are. Not only can they cause skin cancer but they age the skin prematurely. I used to use them, i had to have 3 moles cut out and the skin on my chest looks more like that of a 55 year old and not a 35 year old. Don't use them, you will regret it later in life.
Edit - ash#0 above me has another very good reason!!

I think done in moderation say to prep your skin for a holiday is fine so long as you use plenty of sunbed creme before you go on.I do 6 mins once a week.Before my hols I went on sunbed which was great becuase it stopped me from burning on holiday and I did'nt peel.I do agree that excessive use is'nt good ,but now and again just to top up your holiday tan is ok.

Skin cancer is caused by the UV radiation in sunlight.
Sunbeds use UV radiation to tan your skin, so you're exposing yourself to the same damaging UV radiation that causes skin cancer.
The more UV you're exposed to at a young age, the higher your chances of getting skin cancer.

Sunbeds are merely as risky because of the fact the sunlight. attempt a various fake tan - Johnson do a "trip tan" that goodbye as you moisturise your elbows and knees, and dodge your heel section you may seem noticeably stable! ask your self is it nicely truthfully worth the threat? little doubt the Christmas occasion is a night "do", so will the lighting fixtures somewhat be vibrant adequate to tutor the tan up besides?

Yes, they are heavy, so you can damage your back moving them, faulty wiring can give you electric shock and the heat and UV are not good for you.

Tanned skin is damaged skin.
This damage can lad to premature aging, skin cancer and even death.
Sunbeds are designed to tan skin.
As long as you don't turn it on, it shouldn't do you too much harm.

You won't suddenly die under one! However they do increase your statistical risk of skin cancers. like all radiation there is no absolute safe level for UV.
