England to Crack Down on Teen Tanning?

England – where the lack of sunshine often prompts residents to tan indoors – is the latest country to scrutinize teen tanning. Research there suggests “increased risk” of health concerns for 11- to 17-year-olds who use “sunbeds,” a ban of which would affect an estimated quarter of a million youngsters.

One potentially good outcome is the possibility of closing salons that are unsupervised, as well as coin-operated units. This trend is already underway in portions of the U.K., as Scotland has legislation in place, and Wales is working on it.
