Source: MPs call for ban on sunbed advertising and health warnings in shops – BBC News
MPs from a cross-party group are calling for a ban on advertising sunbeds and for warnings to be issued about the dangers of skin cancer in shops.
They also proposed displaying cigarette-style images at sunbed shops and tanning salons to dissuade people from using them.
The report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on beauty has found that the majority of skin cancer cases are preventable and also that using a sunbed before the age of 35 increases the risk of the most dangerous form of skin cancer by 60%.
