A new study shows that people who tan indoor have triple the chance of getting melanoma. This article discuss a new study that was concluded in the start of 2010. This study shows that people who tan in beds frequently have a higher chance of getting melanoma; the deadliest skin cancer. The study shows that the risk increased in people who have been tanning for a long time. People who have been tanning for ten years or logged in more than 100 session in a tanning bed were the ones more likely to get melanoma. The FDA is thinking about whether they should put regulations on tanning. "Given our findings, the age you start indoor tanning may matter less than how much you do it," says the lead author of the study, DeAnn Lazovich.
Response: I'm not really sure what the FDA should do. If they put a ban on tanning until people are eighteen, they are going to go back to tanning as soon as they hit eighteen. People know the risk of tanning and when they go into the bed they know what they are getting into. So people shouldn't really be upset that people are trying to put a regulation on tanning. They are just trying to help people out so they don't develop the deadliest skin disease.
