Im so happy sunbeds have been banned in the UK, for under 18s I just hope it gets passed here,melanoma skin cancer has become so widespread
Not just MM, it's basal and squamous cell too. Not the same thing.

The main one they are concerned with is MM,(75%).yes I do know of the others also.:)
Being Australian, I don't understand why sunbeds are still popular. They should be banned full stop. Skin cancer is on the increase and it's a hideous disease.
Get rid of them all I say!!

It seems it's the under 18's who have been banned from salons using them, and also unmanned coin-op tanning booths.
A couple of online links, since the first one made me wonder if it was just in Wales:

No, England and Wales apparently:

When I heard this my initial thought was - how will they stop them in the unmanned set ups where there is a franchise operator pops in to open up and shut up and maybe a couple of times a day if you are lucky?
Education and good role models are more likely to have an impact...

According to the Express article - see link in my post above - these coin op booths will be outlawed. A clause in the bill covers this.

Yep totally agree Star99. There seem to be far too many tanning salons out there happy to take the teenagers money without monitoring them closely enough.
