We should also ban charcoal grills and barbecues that causes cancer too.

I only go when my skin flares up
There are lots of things that cause harm in excess that could be banned, but maybe we shouldn’t make everyone’s lives a misery?
I tan pretty well but I nearly always burn when I go on holiday to start with, so I started going on sunbeds before holidays to get a base tan. The result is I no longer burn.
Also who tf lies on a sun bed like that, the goggles would fall off, smh.
I get the sentiment but I don’t think we should be banning things like this. If someone wants to use a tanning bed they should be able too, end of the day it’s their body.
People like to shit on fake tans, but I’m glad they’re a thing. I’ve never had one but my mum used to get them a lot. Sure, she’d look like an oompa loompa on the first day but the idea was that she’d allow 24 hours for it to set in, then wash it off and be left with a more natural looking tan. Maybe the orange girls you see out and about are the same, having just had the fake tan freshly applied.
She’s already had some small basal cell carcinomas on her face, she’s *very* pale, as am I. The sun is not our friend, haha. But fake tans are a lot safer so I’m glad she opted for that rather than using actual tanning beds.
Actually we could do with less vain people
NGL, never tried one, never even got the appeal.
If you can’t make people get vaccinated or ban cigarettes etc…
I wonder whether these formulations are common from scientists, or are something the media likes to put into their mouths. It is certainly odd how often you hear ‘scientists’ saying if X or Y was banned or mandated, all sorts of good things would come, and how rarely they simply suggest the benefits of it being done, or not done.
I know what we could dooooo!!! … Why don’t we ask Corrupt Scientists, Fat AF Chefs, Jealous Racist Drug Ministers, Sexist Christian Men to stop telling people too Ban or Tax things!?
Would that be too simple?
My cousin is 21 and I don’t even recognise her anymore due to her sunbed use.
She’s covered in freckles (not that they are ugly) that she never used to have and her skin looks wrinkly already.
I’m worried she will be one of those that gets skin cancer. Worst part is her mum encourages it.
In the 80’s I was sold a sun bed on the basis they prevented skin cancer and were safer than sun bathing. 20 years on I’ve had basal cell carcinoma over 10 times on different parts of my body.
If I could ban them I would.
The amount of people who feel entitled to comment on my pale skin is breathtaking. When I was younger I felt under so much pressure to have a tan I would use a sun bed.
Even more lives would be saved by banning fat people, the biggest killer in the developed world. Body positivity is evil.
I have some sympathy for this. Tanning salons are selling whole body radiation burns. The cigarette industry do provide an equivalent service for the human lung and are treated much less leniently.
My cousin has the most terrible psoriasis across his body. Steroid creams and other medication had little effect, but mild sunbed use has almost completely cleared it up.
I know he’d find it hard to cope if he couldn’t use them anymore.
Are tanning beds more or less harm than using the sun? That is my main thought on this really.
And from a safety perspective if you are going to be outside what is the best option? My arms are a little tanned but my upper arms and chest are not due to wearing a t-shirt most of the time when outside. This usually means if not wearing a tshirt I will burn my upper arm and shoulders but the rest of my arm is fine.
Do try and use suncream although sometimes you miss a spot or don’t put any on as you didn’t expect to be out in the sun.
Going kayaking or swimming are otherwise healthy activities that you get fun and exercise out of. But you are going to be under the sun while doing it.

But it will sink the reality TV market.
