According to a new study, young Americans may tan indoors because businesses offering the service are so readily available.
The study, led by Joni Mayer, a clinical psychologist at San Diego State University, calculated the density of indoor tanning facilities in 116 large U.S. cities and found that tanning salons outnumber Starbucks and McDonald's.
Charleston, W.Va., had the highest density, with 33.7 tanning businesses per 100,000 people, while Hialeah, Fla., ranked lowest with 1.3 salons.
