Melanoma, Deadly Skin Cancer
California is famous for sunshine, beautiful beaches, a superstar governor, and people with tanned, healthy- looking bodies. The younger generation will be less tanned if some members of the legislature have their way. The State Assembly voted 42-26 to ban teenagers from visiting artificial tanning booths.
The California Society of Dermatology Surgery backs the bill. They blame tanning booths for many of the one million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year and 7,400 deaths from melanoma (a deadly form cancer of skin cancer). The State already requires parental permission for teens ages 15-18 to use artificial tanning beds. While the lawmakers have our children’s best interest at heart, we don’t think that Big Brother belongs in the tanning booth. California lawmakers should stick to more serious and immediate concerns, such as the state’s failing economy and deteriorating school system.
