Why Do People Still Tan? My Opinion As A Ex-Tanning Bed User:

Tanning in a tanning bed is convenient. You do not have

to lay outside in the sun in the middle of the day. You go

on with your daily routine and when youre done, you can

go to the tanning salon.

It takes less time to get more tan. I did not have to sit out

in the sun for 3 hours to get one skin tone darker. I only

had to go to the tanning bed once, totaling only 30

minutes including travel time, to receive the same tan.


16/30

Why Do People Still Tan?

You can choose to not get into the tanning bed in a bathingsuit, leaving no tan lines behind.

During the winter months, you cannot get a solid tan from thesun. Tanning salons are open year round.

I primarily tanned during the winter months and when therewas an important event coming up. Its all about convenience.

How Are People Protected

While Tanning Indoors? There is no safe way to

indoor tan.

Users are legally required

to wear tanning goggleswhile they are tanning, but

that does not protect them

from getting cataracts or

other eye damage which

was stated by the FDA.

Texas Southwestern Medical

addiction to tanning isequivalent to drug addictions.

parts of the brain that are

How Are Salons Still Open?

According to the FDA, more

specifically the Skin Cancer

Foundation, the tanning salon

industry:

Serves over 28 million people Generates at least 5 billion

dollars a year

facilities across the country

Every year, the numbers rise.

Why Is My Topic Important? My topic is important because people do not realize

how dangerous it is to tan. Even though indoor tanning

is fast and convenient, they are putting their life on the

line for a deeper skin complexion.

Being tan is not worth the medical risks, we should

learn from the science that is right in front of us.

People are losing their life on a daily basis to

overexposure to UV rays, why should weOVEREXPOSE ourselves to it for beauty?


22/30

Why Is My Topic Important? I want to further my knowledge about the negative

effects of tanning. After conducting research, I

discouraged my loved ones from using tanning beds. I

also stopped using them completely. I will never step

foot into a tanning bed ever again.

The damage that I have already caused to my skin can

and MAY come back to haunt me in my future.

I want to be able to encourage younger girls to neveruse a tanning bed. I am now equipped with the

statistics to support my belief.


23/30

Why Is My Topic Important? I want to be able to defend the counterarguments that

people have when it comes to tanning. With the

statistics that I have gathered, not one excuse will be

acceptable.

Tanning beds kill people. It may not be instant, but it will

eventually. Everyone is dying but we should do our best

to stay healthy for as long as possible.
