Just another attempt by liberals to inject more senseless rules and government regulations and make it tougher to do business.

So what if tanning booths cause cancer?

Like smoking, drinking, eating junk food and skydiving we aren't being forced to "tan". If someone wants to take the risk and if a business is willing to provide the service, let them make the decision.

Not some government entity.

I am always enraged . Everytime people get sick , get hurt or die from some activity the liberals rush out there and want to make a new law less

The American Academy of Dermatology needs to explain why MELANOMA has increased 300% during their watch.

Melanoma, the deadly form of skin cancer, has had a catastrophic increase since 1974, which curiously matches the introduction of widespread use of sunscreen and sun blocks.

Something went terribly wrong there and the AAD needs to explain.

Why it is the sun screen manufacturers continue to remove various ingredients from their formulas when it is discovered the stuff we are dipping our children appears to increase melanoma?

Here is the research:

The advice to avoid the sun, and UVB radiation in general, was iatrogenic at best.

The AAD is telling us 5 million years of evolution and lots of regular sun was wrong. Now we are told the sun is bad for us?

What about vitamin D, AAD?

I will trust evolution over a bunch of doctors who erred horribly when they tried to play god and ban the sun.

I've let my daughter go to the tanning bed before prom, but she doesn't go at all now. I deserve the choice of whether or not to let my child go to a tanning bed. The government should stay the hell out of our life. We are smart people and can make this decision by ourselves.
