“Nearly 30 million people tan indoors in the
United States annually, including 2.3
million adolescents” (Levine et al.).

The current regulations pertaining
to indoor tanning are not
effective. The United States
legislature needs to create more
rigid laws restricting this
phenomenon so that the dangers
of indoor tanning are recognized
and this act is diminished
altogether.

The World Health Organization
recognizes the dangers of indoor
tanning (Levine et al.).
SO WHAT???
The United States still has minimal
regulations (Levine et al.).

In the U.S., about 28 million people
use 50,000 indoor tanning salons.
This is a multi-billion dollar industry
(Levine et al.).

THE POPULARITY OF INDOOR TANNING IS STILL
GROWING (Levine et al.).

“The FDA regulates manufacturers of
indoor tanning equipment.
Requirements are placed on lamp
specifications, posting of warning
labels, and provision of suitable eye
protection” (Levine et al.).
![Page 26: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BUT

These are not well enforced.
A study in North Carolina revealed that 95%
of indoor tanners surpassed the suggested
limits (Levine et al.).
![Page 28: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

“6 states (Wisconsin, Illinois, California, North
Carolina, New Hampshire, and Texas) restrict youth access to tanning beds”
(Levine et al.).
18 states “restrict youth access for individuals younger than 18 years, except
with parental consent” (Levine et al.).

“There are no US federal regulations addressing
indoor tanning by adolescents” (Lazovich
and Forster).
![Page 32: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

However, there are federal laws regarding
tobacco.

Would you let your child smoke a
cigarette?
![Page 35: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Then why do you let him/her indoor tan?
![Page 36: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The U.S. government should
follow the tobacco laws as a
model to restrict indoor tanning.
Taxes, licenses, constraints on
advertising, safety labels and
increased education should be
applied (Lazovich and Forster).
![Page 37: Visual essay](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ac0e381a28abf77b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

People will not stop themselves. It is time for
the government to intervene.
