No One Is Listening!

A couple weeks ago we told you that the tanning beds had been deemed a class 1 carcinogen, just as bad as smoking cigarettes. I had hoped that some of you would listen, but news has it no one is staying away from the death beds. Beach Bum Tanning has recently reported that business has continued as per usual since the news reports. Come on people! I knew I wasn’t going to put the places out of business, but there’s not even the slightest decrease in the number of individuals hitting the beds. I know we all like our color, but trust me I don’t think its worth the Melanoma.

Tanning Beds, Now A Class 1 Carcinogen

If any of you are still heading to the tanning bed, there’s reason to give you a strong warning. Yes I know, we all have known for a while now that the UV rays weren’t exactly good for your health, but recently the beds have been classified as a class 1 carcinogen; putting them in the same group as tobacco smoke, mustard gas, and plutonium. In fact, if you hit the tanning salons for some extra color before the age of 30, you have a 75% higher chance of getting melanoma. That’s a big percentage!
