“Dark News”

Research in 20 different studies all conclude that tanning beds increase risks for skin cancer by 75%. That’s comparable to the risk of lung cancer associated with smoking, just to show you how cool tanning is.

Cancer risks for those who don’t use sun-beds are pale by comparison.

Since tanning beds can cause melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer, users have begun using tanning beds with outside handles, for the convenience of the pall-bearers.

Some at risk for cancer argue that they may as well continue to go to tanning salons, instead of soaking up natural sunlight, because you can’t sue the sun.
