Tanning Risk

Many US tanning salons not warning teens about skin cancer risks.
HealthDay (5/10, Preidt) reported, "Many tanning salons in the United States don't warn teens and young women about the skin cancer risks posed by tanning beds, according to" the results of an online poll conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology. The "poll included more than 3,800 white females aged 14 to 22 from across the country who were asked about their tanning knowledge, attitudes and behavior." Notably, "the survey found that 43 percent of indoor tanners said they had never been warned about the dangers of tanning beds by tanning salon employees, and 30 percent said they hadn't noticed any warning labels on tanning beds."
