There's a new "tanning salon" on Main Street ... do they have tanning beds or what?

I can't believe anyone would be so stupid as to open a traditional tanning salon just a couple of months after this news ...

Tanning beds cause cancer, experts say

By the Associated Press
August 2, 2009

London (AP)-- International cancer experts have moved tanning beds and other sources of ultraviolet radiation into the top cancer risk category, deeming them as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas.

For years, scientists have described tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation as "probable carcinogens."

A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30. Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic. Previously, only one type of ultraviolet radiation was thought to be lethal.

The new classification means tanning beds and other sources of ultraviolet radiation are definite causes of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus and chimney sweeping, among others.

The research was published online Wednesday in the medical journal Lancet Oncology, by experts at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization.

"People need to be reminded of the risks of sunbeds," said Vincent Cogliano, one of the cancer researchers. "We hope the prevailing culture will change so teens don't think they need to use sunbeds to get a tan."

Most lights used in tanning beds give off mainly ultraviolet radiation, which cause skin and eye cancer, according to the International Agency for Cancer Research.

The classification of tanning beds as carcinogenic was disputed by Kathy Banks, chief executive of the Sunbed Association, a European trade association of tanning bed makers and operators.

"The fact that is continuously ignored is that there is no proven link between the responsible use of sunbeds and skin cancer," Banks said in a statement. She said most users of tanning beds use them less than 20 times a year.

But as use of tanning beds has increased among people under 30, doctors have seen a parallel rise in the numbers of young people with skin cancer. In Britain, melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the leading cancer diagnosed in women in their 20s. Normally, skin cancer rates are highest in people over 75.

Previous studies found younger people who regularly use tanning beds are eight times more likely to get melanoma than people who have never used them. In the past, WHO warned people younger than 18 to stay away from tanning beds.

Cogliano cautioned that ultraviolet radiation is not healthy, whether it comes from a tanning bed or from the sun. The American Cancer Society advises people to try bronzing or self-tanning creams instead of tanning beds.

[fact]

ok.thats what you think. good luck to you.i worry everyday that i dont wake up with a new spot on me.i was in my early 30s when i started now im in my early40s with skin cancer

[tanning is old news]

Tanning is not in anymore, the natural look is, these girls think they look hot but have look orange and the others skin looks like leather. Wait until there 30-40 years old and looks like there 70, with their wrinkles and leather skin. I'm not tanned I don't go tanning and I am HOT! You do not need to tan to look good.

[calmn cents]

everyone looks better with a tan, cancer is just a risk you have to take. if you want to look cool, smoke a cigarette. lets face looking good causes cancer. if you want someone else to look good to you, the answer is alcohol. then you're risking liver cancer.
